Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.”But, leathery hands fullof wet brown life,knee deep in the summerroadside grass,he just smiled and saidthey have places to go totoo.What is the "wet brown life” in this excerpt?

The poem describes Grampa holding the toads he has rescued from the road. They are wet and brown, and they are living creatures with places to go, which matches his words in the excerpt. So “wet brown life” refers to the toads, not the grass, mud, or rain.
