(Kind of like the crone in the forest who is fed by the hero and then turns into a magical fairy who gives the hero/heroine what he/she needs to succeed in their quest)<br />Once I caught a bullfrog (not just the song) that filled both of my hands just with its body. It let me catch it ... which was odd. So, I sat there and just held it right near the waterline and looked at it. Then, when another kid I was with suggested we take it home, I let it go. It swam away a few feet, poked its eyes out of the water and just looked at me. I felt like I'd been weighed and measured. However, no fairy wishes or magical quest items were gained from the experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758645909554257089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-83022943376648678482017-07-24T09:49:30.611-04:002017-07-24T09:49:30.611-04:00Left the door open too long?
