Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.” I will give brainleist


But, leathery hands full

of wet brown life,

knee deep in the summer

roadside grass,

he just smiled and said

they have places to go to

too.


Why does the author use the words "wet brown life” in this excerpt?


to show that the grass is still alive and growing

to indicate that the mud is all over everything

to signify how wet the night has become

to point out that the toads are living things
