Toad Hugs a Tree

What is toad doing? We asked each other. No one knew, not grandpa, uncle or brother. I think he thinks he is a tree hugger I dared suggest. Toad with a far away look was hugging a mushroom to his chest. Are we going to tell him he missed a tree by a mile? Asked our Aunt Maghetti, who had a maniacal smile. Let’s let him do what he is doing, and pretend it is a tree. Suggested several cousins, including me.
