"Come on James, this is easy!" Kayla sighed "You're supposed to be doing as I tell you!"
"Ribbit!" James replied tetchily.
"Yeah, I still don't speak that" Kayla snarled back.
Kayla was right, the trick was easy - jump through a few hoops, catch a few flies and eventually land in a large pond like prop. All very simple for a giant toad. However, just because had agreed to perform for a week to be restored to human form he didn't have to enjoy this. It was exploitation at best and kidnapping at worst.
"Look, I'm sorry about what happened to you. I feel really bad about it, but a week isn't a long time and you might be able to help us save our circus. I'm sure my father would be grateful - I certainly will be" she winked.
"Ribbit!" James sighed as he began practicing the routine further.
"That's great!" Kayla smiled as James completed another five circuits "You've really got this nailed. I think the performance tonight is going to be a big hit. Daddy will be so proud of me!"
