One evening Mogey and Smush were walking through Stinkwater Marsh when they came upon a sight most peculiar. Nestled in among the cattails and skunk cabbages was a gathering of tiny, bumpy creatures. Smush quietly raised the lantern higher to get a better look. It seemed that the assembly was comprised mainly of toads - although there were a few salamanders and swampweasels in attendance - and all of them were staring up at stage, upon which the fattest, bumpiest toad of them all was seated. Suddenly, to Mogey and Smush's great surprise, the toad on stage spoke.
"Welcome back to Toad Talk," it said. "I'm your host, Toadman Burnsington. Our next guest is the bestselling author of The Beautiful Toad Inside and Bumps Aren't Warts, Mr. Toadley von Bloofenspiel!"
Here Toadman Burnsington stopped momentarily for applause, but it didn't appear that any of the toad's arms were long enough for clapping, so the only sounds were a ribbit from a nearby treefrog and a snarl from one of the swampweasels.
"Come on Mogey," Smush whispered. "Let's get out of here, it looks like this is going to be a boring episode."
