📝 Quick summary of key information
Why do toads sing at night near the ponds?
Frogs sing at night near ponds to attract females and mark their territory. Their song, often heard at twilight, is an essential way to communicate for these little amphibians.
Frogs mainly live near ponds, lakes, and wet areas. They eat insects, worms, and small animals. Their varied diet helps them stay healthy and full of energy.
Frogs play an important role in the ecosystem. By eating insects, they help control the populations of these small animals, which is good for plants and other inhabitants of the pond. They spend the day hiding under leaves or in damp places to avoid the heat and predators.
In short, toads are fascinating nighttime creatures that help keep nature in balance. Their nighttime songs and daytime habits make them interesting to watch and protect.

The Toad's Song
Why do toads sing at night near the ponds ?
The Discovery of the Starry Reflection Lake
After finding the moonstone, Nox the owl and Luma the bat, still curious (1), wonder how it could have landed here. Nox, with his sharp eyes, carefully watches the surroundings, while Luma, with her keen ears, listens to the whispers (2) of the wind. They realize that the night still hides many mysteries (3), and they decide to follow a new strange sound that leads them to the Lake of Starry Reflections.
Not long after, they arrive at the lake. A melodious (4) song echoes. Nox and Luma search for the source. They spot a toad on a lily pad.
Nox, curious, asks:
« Who are you? »
Barnabé the Toad, with a soft and reassuring voice, says:
« I am Barnabé the Toad. I love telling stories to share interesting knowledge. »
Luma, curious, asks:
« Why do you sing at night? »
Barnabé the Toad then explains: « Toads sing to find a partner. Each kind (5) has its own special song. »
Barnabé the Toad tells them about an old legend of a secret hidden under the water. Could it be a clue for their nighttime quest?
The Secret of the Enchanted Pond
Barnabé the Toad tells a fascinating (6) story. He talks about a magic stone under the water. It shines at night and attracts fish.
Nox, curious, asks:
« Where is this stone? »
Barnabé the Toad, with a mysterious smile, explains:
« Deep in the lake. It shines with the songs of the toads. »
Luma, curious, asks:
« Why do the fish come? »
Barnabé the Toad, with a mysterious smile, explains:
« Fish are drawn to the light. They are drawn to the light that shines under the water. »
After listening carefully to Barnabé the Toad, Nox and Luma are curious about the magic stone he talks about. The wise toad shows them the way to go. Carefully, they get ready to dive into the water. They are guided to the bottom of the lake, where the mysterious light attracts them.
After listening to Barnabé the Toad's legend, Nox and Luma are drawn to the depths of the Starry Reflection Lake. They are attracted by the mysterious light that shines under the water. As they explore further, they discover an ancient map hidden under a rock. The map seems to show a path to a dense forest where giant (7) trees touch the sky. The night is still long, and new adventures await them.
