Once upon a time in a little pond lived a frog, he was the
most handsome frog in the whole world, with his shining bald head and he knew
it! This frog would think nothing of
strutting around the pond hopping from one lily pad to the other telling any
creature that the met along the way how handsome he was and how downright ugly
they were. The other pond life got
rather fed up of the frog’s behaviour and hatched a cunning plan.
The next day the frog jumped onto the lily pad of a toad and
he began telling the toad about his own gorgeousness. Toad didn't take kindly to a little green
spindly legged creature telling him he was unattractive and so he told the frog
that if he didn't stop talking he would regret being so vain. Cracking his knuckle and looking at the frog
in a menacing way the toad began to move closer and closer to the frog, flexes
his many, many muscles.
The frog realising that he was in enormous peril hopped into
the water and began to swim away. Each
time he landed on a lily pad, he thought he was safe, but each time there would
be another creature waiting to remind him how vain he had been.
Frog could take it now more in dived into the reeds and
fashioned himself a long, flowing golden wig out of the dead reeds. He placed it on his head and swam back into
the pond. Nobody recognised him, he was
safe. Frog introduced himself shyly and quietly to everyone he met and began
known as the nicest and politest frog in the pond.
