A Green Ripple

My ears twitched first, catching the soft murmur of trickling water. My eyes fluttered open wide to damp earth and green moss. Crouching forward, I stretched one small hand toward the puddle right before me. A glossy green frog rested in the shallow water, watching me. I gingerly extended a fingertip to touch the cool water right beside it, watching small rings ripple across the surface.
