... with sadness in their big hearts ...

 they said goodbye to the little green tree frogs they had looked after so beautifully. 

*the kind lady who had given us the tiny tadpoles watched in delight as we released them back into the ponds. she was astonished at the sweetness 

 and love that the boys had taken in caring for them.
