There were usually woodlice to be found crawling about behind the big wooden door, in the damp, dark of the hallway, and Adolphus found them fascinating. When he got bored with watching them scurrying around, he found them pretty tasty too. Adolphus twisted his scaly, blue-green body right round into the darkest corner and waved his forked tail happily as he spotted several woodlice beetling across the corridor. Just as he was about to breathe a little fire to encourage them to run around more, he heard a peculiar noise and looked up. There was something small and red at the other end of the corridor. Actually, there were two small things, one red and one purple – and they smelled very strongly of pondweed. Adolphus took flight and glided down the hall to investigate. He landed in a tangled heap of wings and legs in front of two strangely coloured frogs who looked up at him in horror. Adolphus sniffed the red one.
