This is the fruits of months of hard plasticine labour by Tom Page and I. CLICK on the images to make them BIG.

1. Sammy the frog was sat on his lily pond looking at his reflection.

2. When all of a sudden from stage left Jennifer the frog jumped into the pond.

3. Sammy sensed Jennifer's eyes burning into the back of his head. 

4. Sammy breathed deeply from the pit of his belly, brewing the most gigantic croak.

5. But Sammy had lost his croak. 

6. Jennifer gasped and laughed and Sammy sought distraction in an old fly horsing around. 

7. Sammy swallowed his shame and much to Jennifer's and the old fly's surprise stuck out his tongue.

8. Sammy's tongue stuck like a sticky sweet to the old fly and dragged the unsuspecting frog right out of the frame.

9. Jennifer burst into tears as fish, rats, ducks and singing birds were swept from the lily pond by the eye of a dark storm.

10. A purple bow was all that remained.
