Plz Help Me I Will Mark You As Brainliest. Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.”

The old man

must have stopped our car

two dozen times to climb out

and gather into his hands

the small toads blinded

by our lights and leaping,

live drops of rain.

Why does the author most likely describe the toads as "leaping, live drops of rain”?

to show how wet they are

to prove they are unimportant

to indicate they are worthy of respect

to demonstrate how small they are
