Toad Heaven: Part 5

By MORRIS GLEITZMAN

Then Limpy realised why Goliath's forehead was so crumpled.

He was thinking.'I still don't get how this is gunna work,' complained Goliath.

'I hate to say it, but I reckon that bull ant's right.'

The bull ant gave a chortle of triumph that only stopped when Goliath ate him.

'I'll explain it again,' said Limpy patiently.

'To stay healthy, we need flying insects in our diet, right? Because they're rich in vitamins and minerals.'

'And wings,' said Goliath.

'Right,' said Limpy.'

And the place to find flying insects is on the highway under the railway-crossing light. Which makes us easy targets for humans in vehicles.

There's nothing a human in a vehicle likes better than driving over a cane toad right?
