Tense I hold my breath. Don't move. Then the little frog might sit quietly on the thumb of my hand. Skittish I look around. Does anyone witness this great miracle? Will there be anyone who can capture it on the sensitive plate?

No human to see. Maybe this is the perfect opportunity for me to enjoy miracles to the fullest. What if magic would work?

Do I dare to take the gamble? Wouldn't I be grandiose in the face of a pole if it comes to a failure?

A smile appears on my face. When there is a living soul there, no one looks weird. At most the fragile frog itself.

I gently bring my hand to my mouth, spout my lips, the frog rises the dance and I kiss my thumb.

Maybe as well, you would have had your thumb out of the bowl if it succeeded.
@Naturefreak I already feel it, that's why I made a move with my hand just in time, must be, intuitive 😁
And we just think: what if you had been just a little faster (or the frog a little slower).
@Hans van Gemert I would have stood for pole, or, I had suffered a broken arm or hand
Ah. that was a shame. what if? hihi. nicely told!
@Mirelle-Creametkids it was perhaps only the best, thank you for your compassion 😁
Hey what a shame would have wanted to know what happened.
Cherish that thumb, beautiful stories come out!
