Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.”
The old man
must have stopped our car
two dozen times to climb out
and gather into his hands
the small toads blinded
by our lights and leaping,
live drops of rain.
What are readers most likely to infer from the phrase "leaping, live drops of rain”?
The toads are all hurt.
The toads are still alive.
The toads are in shock.
The toads are not moving.
