Laurel Rich of Salt Lake City, Utah writes, I think there should be more animals on Zoom. I'm suggesting this because animals are my kind of thing. Here you are, Laurel. Una, do you know how to tell a toad from a frog?

Well, there's lots of difference. It's one thing. Toads have grumply, grumply things on their backs, and frogs don't. My favorite place in the whole world is in the country, because you're really close to the animals. I've been catching frogs and toads for about five years. when i catch animals i usually just look at them for a day or two and then i let them go free because the animals that i catch usually are one of my favorites like frogs and toads are almost my favorite animals i know a person that was really scared of my frog um he's he was this um girl and she i was holding a frog and walking down the street and she said ick what's that and i said my frog and she says well frogs can make you have big sicknesses they carry stuff

like ammonia and i said no they don't and she says oh yes they do and people used to tease me girls and boys down at the park used to tease me about my frogs and toads because they used to think i was gross these frogs and toads frog what is it like to live in a pond i bet it's scary sometimes do sometimes trout bite you una um how far do you think a frog or a toad could go in a day i don't know how long do you Maybe a hundred feet or longer. Well, not a toad really, but a frog, sure. The differences between frogs and toads is that frogs can croak.

Toads really don't croak, they peep. Do you know what? Some people think that toads cause warts. They don't. I know. Even though they have warts, it doesn't mean that they cause warts. They don't even really have warts. Those are just mostly little bumps. With probably air inside of them. Let's go! Come on, frog! Come on, toad, toad! Oh, frog, yeah! Do you want to do it again? Yeah, but this is the last time. Okay, here we go. Okay. Toad! Toad! Toad! Toad! you know what one of my favorite things in the world is what catching frogs and toads and things

like that and watching them go free or keeping them a while and looking at them that's one of my favorite things to do so is it mine i usually just catch an animal and look at it for a day or two and let it go free i always let them go free because i think everybody has a right to live as long as they can and i think frogs and toads could live longer if you just let them go Oh, my God. Oh waitress yeah I'd like to see the menu yeah okay

Okay, fella, what's it gonna be? I like steak, well done with chopped onions. We don't have no steaks. Well, then what do you have? Eggs, scrambled. Well, I guess I have two eggs. Is that the oil? Um... Is that oil? Well, it's like this, miss. All day long, people have been saying nasty things about me. They were also doing bad things to me. If it's not too much, can you give me a kind word? Yeah, yeah, sure. Yep. Oh, waitress? Yeah?

Haven't you forgotten something? Like what? My kind word. Oh, yeah. Don't eat the eggs. During the winter, it is very quiet here, in our Indian Pueblo. There isn't any tourists around here now, only the Indians that live in the village. We have no running water in our own house, so we have to get the water from the Taos River

that runs through the village. this is our oven it's made of the same material that our houses are made of mud and straw and water. After we lit the fire, we have to let it set for an hour before we can bake. My mother bakes in special Indian bread that we sell to the tourists in the summer. The bread is made with salt, grease, yeast, warm water and a little bit of sugar and a It takes about forty-five minutes.

My mother baked 60 loaves a day in the summer. Two, one blue, blue, and nuts. My mother taught me to bead on a loom that she made herself. A lot of our women in our pueblo make beads and sell them at the craft shop. It's an easy loom to make.

She took an old ski, put two blocks of wood on each end, and put some nails on the end of the ski. that I just want some string around the nails. Well, we're going to put at least about another five more of this and at the end they'll have to be the same. See? This is my grandpa, little Joe. He lives up in the mountains. Sometimes he comes down to the Pueblo to visit us. My grandfather was born in the Pueblo and I was too. Grandpa is speaking to us in Tiwa, which is our language in our Pueblo.

He is telling us a story when he was about my age. He went with his grandfather and two uncles to Oklahoma. He was visiting some Indians, and when they got there, they had a feast. I really like wintertime in the purple. Everything is quiet and covered with snow. Here's a recipe sent in by Gary Lynn Smith of Derry, New Hampshire.

It's peanut butter kisses. What you need is some peanut butter, some honey, some dry milk, and either powdered sugar or coconut flakes. I like both. What you do is you take one cup of peanut butter. That's about it. And two cups of dry milk. I measured mine already. And a half a cup of honey. Then you mix it together.

Then make it into balls about the size of a walnut, and roll it in either the confectioner sugar are the coconut flakes and then it's ready to eat Here's a story written and illustrated by Vinnie DeBasegli of Brooklyn, New York.

It's called Wally the Watermelon. Once upon a time, on a strange, magical planet called Earth, lived a happy little fellow named Wally the Watermelon. Hi! One sunny day, Wally decided to visit his friends who lived in a big garden. I think I'll visit my friends! So, he took a shortcut he made, and in no time at all, he was there. Now that I'm here, I must find my friends. Hiya, Wally. How you doing? Long time no seed. Top of the morning to you, old boy. Tup, tup. After he had greeted his friends, he asked them if they wanted to take a walk in the park. Hey, you guys, you want to take a walk in the park? Ha, ha. Good for your circulation.

His friends refused. No, you kidding. I'm not that crazy. Walk. No, sir. And told him about them. Big cannibals that roamed there. The cannibals? He asked. The humans. Handsome and his friends. Belly, jump. Yeah, make mincemeat out of here. You bet, right. Oh, I'm not afraid of them, Wally said. If that's the way you feel about it, then I'll go by myself. When he got there, all of the humans gathered around. Hi! My name is Wally the Watermelon. What's yours? And suddenly... And all that was left of him was the smile.

In the pits! Ha. Woof-woof. ACK SCRIGLE Up, dobbby, dobbby, dobbby, dobbby... Hey, stranger, what's your name? Bye-bye, Nubbing Snubbio. Huh? He must be a Martian. I'm getting out of here.

Hi, you must be new in this town. Yikes, are you a nutty? Hello, what's your name? That's a nice name, I'm Laurie. Why should I be? Buh- distance. Um, can you cash this $10 check for me? Oh sure. Thanks. You're welcome. Let's see.
