Presicilla by Tom Clark-S
Presicilla is in love with Miles and is wanting a kiss from him but she is too shy. The frog wants her to kiss him so he can turn into a prince. Among the acorns and leaves is a rare rock from Oklahoma. Encircling the base is a tape tha reads "I love you" in braille. The coin is an 1876 dime.
