How the Toad Got His Bruises

Long ago, the story goes, the toad had smooth and handsome skin — and never missed a party, however far he had to travel. So when an invitation arrives to a feast in the sky, the toad is determined to attend, even if the journey looks quite impossible for a creature so slow. With a borrowed violin and a great deal of cheek, he sets about getting there. A merry "just-so" tale of vanity, mischief, and how the toad came by his bumps.

A traditional tale from Brazil.
