Suddenly Christina felt a large hand scoop her up and put her inside a large box. In reality the box was not tbat large but to Christina the toad it seemed the size of a building. A few seconds later the other toad was lowered into the same box. Christina could then feel the box being lifted and placed into what appeared to be the back of a car. A lid was then placed over the box and the only light came in through the handle holes.
A short while later, the car began to move. Christina tried to speak but all that came out was a "ribbit" The other toad was apparently doing the same in that a "ribbit" could be heard. As time passed Christina found herslef actually becoming more comfortable in her new form, though she still was hoping it was only temporary.
After about 30 minutes the car stopped, and the witch picked up the box. The witch opened the top and the two toads could see her smiling above them. "Don't you two look cute?" she cooed. She picked up Christina once again and set her down on the edge of a body of water. A swamp. Next she placed the other toad down right next to Christina.
"Okay you two, no need to thank me. I'm sure you will love your new life as toads. I would advise you both to keep an eye out for water snakes and herons. Toads are quite tasty and there are a few predators around here who would love to have you for dinner. Some actually used to be human, like you two. But don't let that fool you, they wouldn't see if as cannibalism if they wanted to have you for a meal. In fact, some of the flies you will be eating also used to be human, so you might as well get used to it."
Christina was dumbfounded by the comments and then realized that it was odd that she could still understand human language.
