A second grader asked for a book about frogs.  He had a new pet frog and
wanted to learn how to take care of it.  As we talked, it came out that he
had found the frog at the bus stop that morning, was pretty sure his mom was
not going to let him keep it, and had been storing it in his book bag all
day.  He thought maybe it could just live there and his mom wouldn't know
about it.  I was able to convince him that it is not healthy for frogs to
live in book bags. Since it was 2:00 in the afternoon, I went to his
classroom with him and explained to the teacher that I was there on a frog
rescue mission.  The teacher is not a frog-friendly kind of teacher so she
screamed and told me to get the frog out of her classroom.  I went outside
with the little boy where he surprised me by very dramatically shouting
"Live free and happy!", threw the frog in the air as high as he could, and
ran back inside the building, trying not to cry.....the frog died on
impact....
