A girl witch and a boy sitting down for tea in a pretty garden next to a cottage. There are a handful of frogs around, including on the table. The girl in her purple witches robes is talking animatedly about something while the boy is smiling nervously as he eyes the green steam from his tea and the frog on the table.
