Portrait of Milo

Milo

The little frog with enormous enthusiasm.

Milo is curious about absolutely everything. He can make an ordinary puddle feel like the start of a grand discovery.

The puddle explorer

Milo discovered a puddle with a tiny island in the middle. He announced that nobody had ever visited it. Finn pointed out that it was the same pebble they had walked past yesterday. Milo said yesterday did not count; yesterday it had been dry.

He built a boat from a leaf and set sail with a twig for an oar. The crossing lasted four seconds. From the pebble he waved triumphantly at Finn and Barnaby. Then the leaf floated away without him.

Barnaby offered a paw, but Milo shook his head. “An explorer must find his own way home.” He hopped the entire distance in one jump.

That evening Milo drew a map of the expedition. It showed one puddle, one island and a very large sea monster. Finn asked about the monster. “That's you,” said Milo. “You sneezed.”
