Ribbit Page #3

But there's nothing.

Nothing. Where are they?

I know where the humans are.

What? Who said that?

I said it.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help

but overhear your conversation.

Who are you?

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

excuse my manners.

I am Terrence.

What are you doing up here?

Ribbit.

Oh, it's okay, honey.

I guess I did kind of surprise you.

Well, to answer your question, I come up

here every morning to watch the sun rise.

I mean, honestly, have you ever

seen a more beautiful sunrise?

I don't think so.

Um, yeah, I guess so.

It's nice.

Nice? Well, that's got to be the

understatement of the century.

Just look at those colors.

Look at that crimson and the way the

scarlet blends with that carnelian.

Oh!

Wow! You're right.

The colors are beautiful.

They certainly are.

Colors are my life.

Ever since I was a hatchling...

I've had this gift for colors.

It's like they speak to me.

Take you, for example.

What an interesting combination.

Huh?

Oh, please, how could you not

notice your own colors?

The way the harlequin blends

into a beautiful pear...

before ending up a lovely shade

of chartreuse yellow.

Oh... it's just stunning.

Really? Well, I guess

they are kind of nice colors.

What?

Nothing.

I always thought

you were pretty.

Huh, Sandy.

You really are lucky.

A lot of animals don't

get bright colors.

Take your little friend here.

Hey!

Oh, sweetie, I didn't mean

anything bad.

But you are a typical

female, you know.

Kind of bland

compared to us boys.

Well, I think she looks nice.

You know, I've always thought...

hey, wait a minute!

You said you know

where the humans are.

It's just nature's way of helping

us boys attract attention.

Goodness knows, we need

all the help we can get.

You said you know

where they are, the humans.

Oh, please, why would you

be interested in humans?

They're so bland, just

blah-brown creatures.

And they all look alike.

Seen one, seen 'em all.

Of course, there is that

one female human.

She wears beautiful colors

in her hair.

And bright, shiny gold stuff all

around her neck and her arms.

And all the other humans give her food

and follow her everywhere she goes.

Nutty girl.

They call her, um...

Princess.

Princess?

You know where a princess is?

Well, I suppose so,

but who cares about humans?

Your colors are much prettier

than any humans.

I'll take bright colors any day.

You don't understand,

I'm not really a frog.

Oh, wait, don't tell me,

you're a python in disguise.

Oh, I kill myself sometimes.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I'm actually a prince,

a human prince.

I was cursed by a wicked witch,

and I need a kiss from a princess...

to turn back into my real self.

A prince, a frog! Prince... wait

'til the girls hear about this!

But... don't laugh, okay?

It's what I am.

No, no, of course not.

It's what I am.

Help, I can't breathe.

Okay, fine,

just laugh it up then.

It's okay, Ribbit. We'll find

someone else who can help us.

No, no, wait.

I'm sorry, I really am.

I want to help you,

honest I do.

Really? You'll tell me

where the humans are?

But rather than tell you,

why don't I just show you?

Show us?

Yes, well, kind of.

I remember it's next to the

ribbon that never ends.

The ribbon that never ends?

That's right, the ribbon

of water. It's that way!

I can't see any ribbon of water.

Of course not, it's miles away.

How are we gonna get

all the way over there?

I... I don't...

Why don't I take you?

You? How?

I'll just fly you there, silly.

The two of you

don't weigh very much.

You can just hop on my back,

and hold on tight.

Sandy?

What the heck, why not?

So, what are we waiting for?

Ready now?

Hold on tight!

On a shooting star

I wish for you and me

To lay our worlds together

Under our special tree

There it is!

The ribbon of water!

You're a brave

And mighty king

And when you crown

Your true love

You'll be smiling

Back at me

Is this the night

Finally we'll look

Into each other's eyes

For the first time

That magical moment

When your lips kiss mine

You will finally

Know the truth

If the one you dream of

Wishes for you

Finally will look

Into each others' eyes

For the first time

That magical moment

When your lips kiss mine

And we'll finally know

The truth

That the one you dream of

Wished for you

We're coming in for a landing.

Hang on!

Whoa!

Last stop, boys and girls.

Terrence, we can't

thank you enough.

Oh, don't sweat it, sweetie.

It was my pleasure.

So, which way do we go now?

Just follow the water.

Sooner or later,

you'll find the humans.

Well, gotta fly.

You kids be good now.

Bye!

Man, am I pooped.

I know what you mean.

I'm thirsty, wanna get a drink?

Uh, you go ahead, I'm just

gonna look around for a bit.

Ah.

Did you ever think

we'd get this far?

I guess we have travelled

quite a distance.

But that doesn't mean we're

close to our goal.

We still haven't found

the princess.

Yeah, but just yesterday we were hanging

out by the pond, living our normal lives.

And one day later,

just look at us.

You survived the tree house

getting destroyed.

And we've been to the top of the trees,

and now flew way over here.

Tell me that is not amazing.

Yeah, I guess so.

G'day, mates.

Agh!

I don't reckon I've seen you

two around these parts.

New to the area, are you?

Uh, yes, sir.

We just arrived.

Really? How interesting.

And what brings you

to my neck of the jungle?

Uh, we're looking

for the humans?

Humans? Ack!

Nasty creatures.

They smell awful, and on top of that,

they're really tough, kind of chewy.

And crunchy.

Yeah, you know what they say,

you are what you eat.

Exactly.

Lovely weather we're having...

don't you think?

It is a nice day, isn't it?

And just about... snack time.

Snack? Hey, look at the time.

We'd love to stay and chat, but

we still got a long way to go.

No, there's still heaps of time

before the day ends.

Besides, if you leave now,

I might think you didn't like my company.

And that might make me angry.

You wouldn't like me

when I'm angry.

I wouldn't? Wait.

Well, then let's not

make you angry.

So, what say you two join me

for an afternoon snack?

Hey, look, look, pretty colors.

I mean, I mean, bright colors.

Yes! Um, that means

he's poisonous.

Poison, bad tummy.

Bad tummy.

Oh, I think I'll take

my chances.

Huh?

I took care of him good, yah?

Yah, you did good, Ollie.

Huh?

Thank you for saving us.

It's no problem, my dear.

I am Ollie,

and this is my wife, JoJo.

My wife and I have been so

disgust with...

Disgusted.

Ooh!

We are both so disgusted...

at that caiman terrorizing all the nice,

little creatures that come to drink here.

Until we have no vits-tors.

Vits-tors? Oh, visitors.

Oh, yeah, that's...

that's great.

Thanks.

Where are you two, little sweet

plums off to?

We're gonna go see the humans.

The humans? What would

you want with the humans?

Oh, yeah, it's a long story.

But my friend here, he wants to kiss their
