“It’s just like a circular staircase,” she said with a delighted laugh. “We can climb up to the treetops on this. From there we’ll figure out which tree is the tallest. Easy!” Lily dusted her hands together as if their task were already done.

PRILLA FELT AS if she had followed Beck for miles. Up and around. Up and around. Up and around. The climb was long, and not at all easy.

About halfway up, Prilla and Beck came to a big knothole. “Let’s wait here for Lily,” Prilla suggested. Lily had fallen behind because she kept stopping to look at plants.

Prilla sat on the edge of the knothole with her back to the opening. It felt good to rest a little.

But suddenly, a tingle went down her spine. Something was watching her!

Prilla jumped up and whirled around. Two beady red eyes stared out from inside the dark opening.

“Beck! Look at that!” she cried. “Something is in there!”

Beck peeked into the knothole. After a moment, she called back, “It’s just a tree frog! She’s coming out to say hello.”

POP…POP…POP…POP!

The tree frog’s skinny arms and legs stretched out when she walked. With each step along the branch, her fingers and toes made odd popping sounds.

“What’s that noise?” Prilla asked.

“It’s the sticky pads on her fingers and toes,” Beck answered. “That’s how she hangs on to the tree.”

The frog was green with bright red eyes. She stopped in a thatch of leaves a few inches away from the fairies. Then she peeped to Beck in Frog.

“She wants to know who we are,” Beck said to Prilla. “I’ll tell her we’re fairies from Pixie Hollow.” Beck peeped back at the frog. Then she squatted down and stuck her leg out at an angle.

“Tree frogs speak in different ways from other frogs,” she told Prilla. “Body language means a lot to them.”

POP…POP…POP…POP!
