toad rescue

Emergency! shouted the little robin, there is a toad stuck in a drain! 

a plan was formed and a runner was directed by unseen forces to attend the scene

everyone held their collective breath

but would he just walk past the drain and the helpless flounderings of mrs toad?

red lights were posted nearby to signal the alarm

The runner sees the sploshings and realising mrs. toad has been 

treading water for quite some time, he lifts the drain cover with a mighty

heave and fishes the toad out the muddy rain water.

ohh I quite like it here, says mrs. toad,
nice and warm compared to that water

Ryan (the gosling) was much relieved

the swans pretended not to care

it would be great if I saw some of those fancy brown butterflies

almost as if it was a reward for saving mrs. toad, thought the runner

that's not how karma works said the robin

dickhead, said the azure damselfly
