Toad walked along the path. A large, soft drop of chocolate ice cream slipped down his arm. “This ice cream is melting in the sun,” said Toad.

Toad strides joyfully through the sunlit grass, arms lifted high in triumph, clutching two melting towers of ice cream. His jacket flutters, his feet are light, and his face is tilted toward the sky as if basking in the sheer delight of his frozen bounty. But the sun beams down, merciless and warm—an unseen villain in this tale of sweet indulgence.
