- STUDY: It looks like to wind up your toad you must TURN the key in its back, then PULL the key out.
- You can also PUSH, RUB, and OPEN a mechanical toad covered in speckled cotton. You are also certain that you could hurt its feelings by mocking it.
- A mechanical toad covered in speckled cotton also looks somewhat delicate, and you may want to LOWER it if you want to set it down.
- TURN: You wind up your toad. You meet very little resistance as you turn the key.
- TURN: You wind up your toad. You meet a slight amount of resistance as you turn the key.
- TURN: You wind up your toad. The toy puts up a fair amount of resistance as you turn the key. You believe you can only wind the toy up a little bit more.
- TURN: You wind up your toad. A click indicates you have wound up the mechanical toad as much as you can.
- PULL: You pull the key out of your mechanical toad as you gently set it on the ground.
- With a rhythmic clicking sound, the toad begins to hop in an erratic rhythm, taking a step backward for each few forward bounces. After this warm up, the toad begins to spin in the air with each hop, each time turning a full rotation! As it winds down, the toy spins in lazier and lazier circles before stopping, resting on its legs and facing you.
- You scoop the mechanical toad back up and reinsert the key into the wind-up slot.
- PUSH: You poke at the mechanical toad, causing it to hop slowly and deliberately in place.
- RUB: You rub your toad in an attempt to polish it. It looks better.
- OPEN: You pull up on some of the outside skin of your toad and peer under it. You are rewarded with a view of a mess of gears and fine clockwork.
- MOCK:You squint at a mechanical toad covered in speckled cotton and exclaim, "You're nothing more than a cheap trinket!" The mechanical toad remains silent, properly shamed.
- LOWER: You gently lower your mechanical toad to the ground.
