Episode 356: Compassion

The twins return from a nearby pond with a jar full of tadpoles in water. They show the jar to Terrastina excitedly. That’s neat, she tells them, but did you ask the tadpoles for permission to take them from their home? Oh sure, say the twins. What did they say? asks Terrastina. They said they were tired of living in a dirty old pond. They really wanted to move some place where people would take care of them. Is that so? says Terrastina. These must be just about the most expressive tadpoles ever. Yup, say the twins. Just about.
