Little fellow

           “Come
on I want to show you something,” he said.

            We followed the water up the beach
into the trees, into an area where the water pooled before it ran down the beach.

            “This is pretty,” I said

            Mathew wasn’t paying much
attention, he seemed to be looking for
something.  He reached down and I saw what
it was.  He picked up a frog and put it
in his hand.

            “Look how cute he is,” he said.

            “You remembered,” I said.

             He
cupped his other hand over the frog as it tried to
jump.

            “No, no little fellow,” he said
lowering the frog back to the water.

            We watched as he swam back into the
undergrowth.
