The toad on the road, etc.

So catchshyam and yours truly had been at BR Hills on Saturday and Sunday, with a Youth Hostel group. I was trailing behind everyone as usual, daydreaming and all. Suddenly this fellow hopped onto the way.



"Hi," said he, "if you chance upon a snake on the way, don't tell him about me, please!"

"Okay," said I, "but what do I get in return?"

"I'll pose for you!"

"Aha, that's a deal! Great idea!"

So he sat still there for a while, allowing me to click away for a while. Then we parted ways.
