The gloomy frog story is one of the inspirational stories one can come across. I recently read it in a library under the section - 'short children inspirational stories'! The story sounded so good, I thought of sharing it here. Enjoy..
Freddie the frog was hopping past a pond when he heard a loud sigh.
He stopped and saw a sad looking frog named Frank sitting on a lily pad.
“What’s wrong?” Freddie asked.
“Life is so hard here on this pond,” said Frank, “there used to be more insects to eat, now I’m starving.”
“I live in the pond down the road, we have plenty of insects to share,” explained Freddie.
“I wish that there were more insects here, then I wouldn’t have to move.”
“But if you move there will be plenty of insects to eat.” said Freddie.
“I wish that my tongue was longer. That would fix everything, then I could catch more insects without having to move.”
“But you will never have a longer tongue and if you move, you will have enough insects,” said an increasingly frustrated Freddie.
As they spoke, a large heron landed at the other end of the pond.
“Oh great, “said Frank, “Now the heron is going to eat me.”
“It doesn’t have to. Quick come with me, there are no herons at my pond,” said Freddie as he hopped away to safety.
Frank watched the other frog hop to his pond and sighed loudly.
“That frog is so lucky,” he said before being eaten by the heron.
