The Frog and the Wig

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.
