Tonight, months after I first helped him get up over the curb, I saw the toad again. He was in the same parking lot, waiting patiently by the same curb. What could I do? I jumped out of the van and helped him up over the curb so he could hop into the ivy and go about the business of finding bugs to eat.

What would he do without me?

Cds I listened to while assisting amphibians: Volcano the Bear "Volseptor", "The Inhazer Decline", and "The One Burned Ma", Anekdoten "Gravity", The Waterboys "The Return of Pan", and Greg Weeks "Bleecker Station"
