Animal Amulets (6)
After a good long trek the companions finally reached the ponds beside the waterfall. The sound of the water falling was tremendous and because of it Molly almost missed a little purple and blue frog that was calling her. She stepped closer to the bottom of the waterfall and looked up at it. It had a rainbow flying out from it and a strange high shrilling hum also seemed to emanate from it.
“I wouldn´t go under it if I were you,” she suddenly heard.
She spun around, there on a rock sat a brightly coloured frog whose colours changed whenever he changed his facial expression.
“It´s magic isn´t it but don´t go under it the water hits the rocks very hard so now there´s an enormous hole under where the water falls,” said the frog.
Molly stared at his slimy body, she couldn´t make out what colour he really was.
“I´m looking for a toad named Thunder thighs, the birds told me the frogs could help,” she finally splurted out.
“Well I think you have come to the right place and you´re just in time for the body licking festival.”
“Uggh what sort of a festival is that?” reacted Molly.
“Don´t worry nobody will lick your body as you are covered in fur, that would be disgusting.” replied the frog.
Off they went down to the pond that was most hidden and nearest the waterfall. It was full of colour changing frogs that were licking each other´s backs and then falling over and laughing. Molly thought it was the most stupid thing she had ever seen. The banjo hopped off her back. It was moving. One of the frogs squelched closer and tried to pluck two strings. As he did so the banjo sang out, “Get away,”
But it was too late, Molly had licked a frog´s back out of curiously and now she was rolling around on a leaf hallucinating about ears and tails.
