The Indefatigable Frog is a science fiction short story by Philip K. Dick , first published in the July 1953 edition of Fantastic Story Magazine , and later in The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick . It has since been republished several times, including in Beyond Lies the Wub collection Beyond Lies the Wub in 1988. The story centers around two college professors, Hardy and Grote, who argue about one of Zeno s Paradoxes , called The dichotomy paradox, where a frog wants to get up from a well, but each jump is half of the previous one. That way, Hardy argues, the frog will never exit the well, while Grote argues the opposite that the frog will eventually escape from the well. The Dean of the college wants to settle this age old paradox and instructs the two professors to create an experiment with the frog. Hardy and Grote do exactly that they send the frog down a large tube and subject it to an energy field which reduces the size of the frog in half for each leap. The frog eventually becomes so small that it disappears. Grote goes into the tube to figure out what happened, while Hardy flicks on the switch, forcing Grote down the tube. Grote is halved in size as he progresses, and the smooth floor of the tube eventually becomes huge rocks and boulders as he nears microscopic size. Grote disappears, and Hardy claims that the frog never made it across and that he was right. In the end, Grote and the frog became so small that they passed through the molecules of the tube, away from the field and back to their original size. Philip K.

The Tomato frog is any one of the three species of genus Dyscophus Family biology family Microhylidae D. antongilii , D. insularis , or D. guineti . The tomato frog originally came from Madagascar. The common name comes from the frog s bright red color. When threatened, a tomato frog puffs up its body. If a predator grabs a tomato frog in its mouth, the frog s skin secretes a thick substance that gums up the predator s eyes and mouth, causing the predator to release the frog to free up its eyes. The gummy substance contains a toxin that occasionally causes allergic reactions in humans. The allergic reaction will not kill a human and the frog secretes it only when frightened. The lifespan of the Tomato Frog can be from 6 to 8 years. When adult, the colors may vary from yellowish orange to deep red. Tomato Frogs will reach sexual maturity in 9 14 months. Females are larger than males and can reach 4 inches in length. Males can reach 2 to 3 inches in length. Most females range from reddish orange bright dark red.
