Blue-Footed Newt

One particular day, Tree Hugger had return from helping a group of rainbow colored moths to get back to their home in the southern forests.

"I am so happy for those moths," Tree Hugger said as she got back home, "They're so beautiful! I'm sorry that there's not much left of them now." But she's happy that the moths are being taken care of now.

"Now to figure out what to do next," Tree Hugger said. So after sundown, Tree Hugger fell asleep, thinking about what to do tomorrow, or what will happen tomorrow.

The next morning, Tree Hugger decided to go out on a morning walk. "Today looks so radical," Tree Hugger said to herself, "Can I say something other than that? Oh yeah."

Then Tree Hugger noticed something unique. "Hello," she said, "Who are you?" Tree Hugger decided to get a closer look at the thing. It was a lizard. "Hi," Tree Hugger said, "Little lizard."

But there was something different about this lizard. This "lizard" was all shiny as it glistened in the sunlight.

"Oh, a newt," Tree Hugger said. This lizard was really a newt. Newts do look like little amphibious lizards. Also, this newt was orange with clear polka-dot spots on its back. But its most unique feature is its blue feet.

"Hey there, little one," Tree Hugger said to the little newt. The newt just stood there. So Tree Hugger decided to stand there, waiting for the newt to make a move. Immediately, Tree Hugger noticed something.

Right now, she is seeing only one blue-footed newt. "Only one?" Tree Hugger thought, "Because I've never seen you before, I guess that there's not much left of these little guys."

However, she is right. There are very few of these blue-footed newts left. Tree Hugger is seeing only one. Then the blue-footed new scurried off. Tree Hugger thought about this blue-footed newt for a moment before she continued on with her morning walk.

Some time later that day, Tree Hugger was back at her home. She decided to read a magazine while she was relaxing.

"What is this?" Tree Hugger said, looking at a certain page, "A giant snorkel clam? Radical!" But Tree Hugger planned on doing something about the rare blue-footed newts tomorrow.
