It was nothing more than a child's gift, a bowl of tadpoles which Jeff had caught in a stream in the field behind U. L. Light School, where Jeff, Frisky, and I regularly roamed and shot basketballs on Saturdays and sometimes after work. He gave them to her innocently, as an expression of his affection. Later, however, he found out that the teaching assistant had given these same tadpoles to Lee. In revenge, Jeff later sneaked into Lee's garage, found the bowl of tadpoles, and poured motor oil into their water, killing them.
