Golden frog was halfway through the stolen toast when the Pumpkin family returned from their walk.
They were shocked to find a strange amphibian making herself at home amongst their morning meal.
Golden frog rushed over to greet them, determined to charm them into adopting her as one of the family.
She tried to befriend Baby Pumpkin but he merely wailed about the loss of his toast.
Next she turned to Mummy Pumpkin begging her to take pity on a poor orphan frog. Mummy Pumpkin was umnoved and wary of having anything to do with someone with such terrible manners.
Finally she threw herself at Daddy Pumpkin, flirting outrageously and hinting that she was not averse to a bit of cross-species love if that's what it would take.
The Pumpkins, appalled at such behaviour, called the police.
And Goldren frog soon found herself in court where this indiscretion was added to a long list of crimes performed under other names. The judge ordered her to remove her Golden wig and she was soon revealed to be nothing more than a green frog of the commonest kind. There were some who hinted perhaps she was a toad.
And so she found herself where she belonged. Not embraced by the pumpkins, but behind bars. Reflecting at leisure on the fact that crime (no matter how petty) does not pay.
