Once the van arrives and the rest of the family sets about unpacking and getting settled, he goes off by himself and walks by the creek and thinks about all his friends. Finally, he sits down on a rock and begins to observe nature. He becomes fascinated with a toad sitting near the creek, and then with some insects that are scurrying around his feet.
