Deleterious frog

Old post, but I had to post something :)
~~
Our search tonight follows the deleterious frog. Hopping along his golden pads that can hold only one, lest they be taken under the crimson swamp. He is startled when a female crosses his path. The immortal deleterious frog cannot fall in love so he does not look for long. Reminded of course of the crimson swamp beneath his feet. The swamp takes all the ignorant deleterious frogs who beleive in love. The male deleterious frog hops away hunting for a reason to stay away from the female that caught his eye. After passing the mimicking flies, suitable as food for anytime, the deleterious frog turns back for the female. Ignoring the mimicking flies for a second time he returns to the female only to see another male, an older male, within one hop. Knowing he is no match for the older deleterious frog, he stands back and watches the older male jump to the females pad. The young male deleterious frog watches the two sink to the bottom of the swamp. He realizes again that love at first sight is not worth his youth.
