The story of two snakes.(And a toad.)

            The story of two snakes.(And a toad.)

One fine summer day, a lone garter snake named Rogly Landsnake decided to go to the river. "It's hot out. I'll go lay in the shade of the trees." He said as he slithered off. Meanwhile, at the river, a lone sea snake named Dityun Seasnake  decided to visit his friend, Fin Frog. As he swam along the riverbank, he saw another snake. That's weird. He isn't in the water, but he's not stranded either. He thought to himself. "Hello, may I ask who you are and how you are swimming on land." He said politely. "Oh, hello." The other snake said. " I am Rogly Landsnake and I am not swimming, I am slithering. I can do this because I have scales called scutes on the bottom of my body. Why are you in the lake?" Rogly asked. The sea snake was surprised. He never saw a snake that could slither on land before. " I guess I am in the lake because I do not have Scutes. I would not be able to get back to the water if I came out. But I do have a very effective paddle tail." replied Dityun. "I am Dityun Seasnake in case you're wondering." They both looked at each other until Rogly said: "How about we be friends?" Dityun agreed. " I am on my way to my friend Fin's house, want to come?" "Fin? Fin Frog? I know him! Sure!" So Rogly and Dityun swam/slithered over to Fin's. Fin Frog was actually a toad, but he was brought up by frogs. on their way to his nest, they talked about the differences between reptiles and amphibians. "Our eggs are oval shaped and they feel leathery, I remember going to see a relative, Uncle Earl Salamander, his wife was laying her eggs and just finished when we got there." Rogly explained. "Realy? Well amphibian eggs are more like balls of...What is it called?" "Jell-O?" "Yes. Jell-O. Well they need to be wet and moist all the time. Of course amphibian grown ups have to be wet and moist to survive all the time anyway."Dityun and Rogly talked all the way to Fin's, when they got their, Fin leaped and landed right in front of Rogly. "You guys talkin' about reptiles? Ma' told me reptiles look like miniature versions of their Mas or Pas, unlike us 'phibians. We look like fishies without any fins, just a big flat tail!" Rogly was startled by Fins sudden appearance but Dityun laughed. "Hi Fin. This is Rogly Landsnake, now that we're all here, let's play!" "OH YEAH!!!!!" Then Dityun, Rogly, and Fin, played until it was time to go home.
