Normally these frogs laid eggs on leaves or in water, but warming temperatures and wetter soil had forced them to adapt. Thomas, moved by the discovery, created a small rainwater pool to protect them. Each morning, he returned to check on the growing tadpoles—unexpectedly becoming their quiet guardian.
What started as a routine farm check became a lesson in resilience and wonder. His land, once only for crops, now held a symbol of nature’s quiet, astonishing change.
