Please pay no attention to the enormous toad lurking in the corner of the room. He thinks he’s successfully hiding under a blanket, you see, and doesn’t realize that his blanket is much too small. The toad won’t bother you as long as you don’t bother the toad and, really, you don’t want to bother a toad of this size.
