Familiar Ground

Toad’s fondest wish is to serve as a research assistant to his wizard (well, that and not being sat upon)? 

I guess non-lofty goals are more achievable. 

It seems like a variation of the Leo Burnett quote “When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won’t come up with a handful of mud either.”

Toad’s philosopy: “Reach for mud, because…it’s right there.”
