Capitolo 83
extraordinary circumstances but the toads of every day and communes of modern
England. This show a lack of scientific and accurate knowledge on the part
of the toads that are really tearful. A toad to that it really desired
qualify for the place has to avoid at least to present himself/herself/themselves
of forehead to a critical eye in the foolish semblance of an incarnate anachronism.
He remembers to one of the Roman mother in a popular caricature that suspects
his/her child to smoke, and vehemently it declares that she smells tobacco,
but, after a moment, he/she remembers the historical conveniences and murmurs
to her, apologetically, 'No, not the tobacco; that is not invented yet.'
A silurian so called or toad of triassic they owe, likewise, to remember
what in the centuries to which honours that he inhales that its his/her own kind of amphibian was
not yet it developed. He should enter rather out the character of a
ceratodus or a labyrinthodon.
Again, another toad adult strip in the cable of a tree, and there
it hibernates. The barking partly he/she closes on the fissure from which he entered,
but leaves a small crack from which you/they can freely enter air. The grub in
the barking and the other bugs provide him/it with at times a frugal
meal. There is no good reason because, under such circumstances, a placid
and it is probable that happy toad doesn't succeed in prolonging a lot his/her existence for
consecutive seasons.
Once more, the egg of toads is very small, as you greets the ransom of the
individual eggs, comparative with the ransom of the mature animal.
Nothing would be easier than for a piece of egg or a small tadpole to
has washed in of the hole in a mine or cavern, where enough was
you sprinkle for his/her developement, and where the drops that drip demolished
I draft objects of food, enough to hold on his/her simple existence. A toad
brought on under such particular circumstances it would almost pass his/her
the whole life in a state of numbness, and it would still grow and it would flourish in
his/her his/her own sleepy vegetative way.
