Their poison killed predators – even pets – who tried to eat them” (Spotts). Accordingly, these toads disturbed the balance of the fragile ecosystem within Queensland, Australia. They…

Thumbelina and her mother were very happy together. But then, something terrible happened. A toad who had seen Thumbelina by the pond fell in love with her. One night, when everyone was asleep, he snuck into the house. Ah! There she is. The toad approached Thumbelina. Ha ha ha! I will make Thumbelina my wife! Grabbing the sleeping Thumbelina in his mouth, he hopped away back to his pond. The next morning, the toad left Thumbelina on a lotus leaf in the middle of the pond. He went to bring his…

introduced can destroy all the pests and become a pest itself as it will have no natural predators in its area. An example of this is seen with the use of cane toads in North Queensland which its job was to eat the beetles that was attacking the sugar cane crops but the problem was that the toads couldn’t jump high enough to eat the beetles.

As Toad walks toward the cat she says “did you get it?”[14] a number of times and on the final part of the utterance she makes an obvious mistake with her pronunciation. The inclusion of these imperfect…

“Don’t talk to strangers,” my teacher constantly warned me. “Make sure you wear a seatbelt,” my dad would demand every time we went for a car ride. “Always make sure the doors are locked before you leave the house,” my mom insisted from the first time she left me home alone.
