"Time to go, Frog Duke! Everything's packed, we can head home now."
"Coming, coming, let's go quickly, I want to return to Jiang Huai." The Old Toad nudged and squeezed.
"You're going back?"
"Yes, the East Sea is a journey, but Jiang Huai is where life is. Didn't we agree, only to breed tadpoles, not to enter into life?"
"You are a born different species, a natural hero, elusive like the wind on the sea, coming and going without a trace. I'm just a common frog, how could I possibly nurture your tadpoles? After today, you'll come back to find me, won't you?"
"Let's talk about it later, the sea is too salty, a bath and then sunbathing leaves big salt particles on the skin, rough for a frog, it's too dry, look at my skin, it's not as slippery as before. Lady Frog, I'm born to wander, don't try to keep me, it'll only hurt us both."
The sea toad, blue as the sky, hung its head in loneliness.
