HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL Frog trapped in the drain Walking through the kitchen late one night, I heard a low croaking sound. I looked around and, since I didn’t see anything, I dismissed it. The next night Beverly heard the same noise. I asked where she thought it was coming from. She indi cated the sink. We shined a flashlight beam down the sink drain to see if we could locate the critter. There on the underside of the drain was a frog clinging to the drain wall. Billy Powell Columnist The frog crawled in there. He would have had to enter the plumb ing from another point, pos sibly the septic tank. When he was much small er, he could have scooted through an opened door, jumped through the sink drain, and lived there until he was too large to exit. I proceeded to rescue the frog by disconnecting the elbow joint beneath the sink and forcing him away from the drain. He fell onto the space under the sink and stated hopping around in the kitch en. Hippety-hop, Hippety hop. I caught the frog before he made it to the living room and put him outside the front door. I am sure Mr. Froggy breathed a sigh of relief. Mother once told me if you touch a frog and he urinates on you, warts will form on your hands. I haven’t devel oped any warts yet.
