Chapter Two

I made a miniature envelope and note card from a scrap of paper. I sharpened a pencil to the finest, tiniest point and sat down at the kitchen table to write the frog a letter.

It took me a while to decide what to say. What would you say to such a sad frog? At last I wrote:

You’re invited
to tea and cereal
with Stephanie
(caretaker of your kitchen cabinet).
Please RSVP

I slipped the letter under his door.
