A few years ago we were sitting in our library at home listening to the occasional *thump* *thump thump* noises. Baffling indeed! We concluded that it was too loud for a mouse; too quiet for a rat; not enough scuffle scuffle for either... and apparently coming from the bottom of a large cardboard box. In fear and trepidation Himself approached the box... looked... scratched his head... reached in - and lifted out a very small frog! We have never been able to work out what a tiny frog was doing thumping around in a cardboard box in our house, nor how it got there. There is a very small river nearby, but I don't normally associate frogs with running water. It was a couple of weeks before either of us remembered that Mr Next Door has a small pond in his front garden. Which probably explains the 'where', if not the 'how' and '*why*'!
