Change Story
You know, that kind of reminds me of... A frog.
There once was a frog hopping along a lane on a bright sunny day.
He was an optimistic chap, seeing life as full of opportunity.
As he hopped along this day he spotted a toad.
The toad walks, as toads do, and our frog finds him scrambling along
in the gully by the side of the lane, made by vehicle wheels.
Our frog peers down at him from the mound in the centre of the lane.
He wonders...
"Mister Toad!" he asks, a polite chap this frog.
"Mister Toad, why do you scramble along in the mud down there,
all in the dark? Why don't you come up here in the centre where
it is light and airy?"
Says Toad "No no Young Frog, I know the terrain down here and
the soft light is better for my eyes. Hop along young frog for
I am happy here".
The frog is disbelieving.
"But Mister Toad the view up here is amazing!"
"Young frog, I have weak eyes, the view means nothing to me.
Hop along young frog for I am happy here!"
Confused the frog hops away.
The next day is a rainy day, if you will.
The frog is hopping along the lane again and again finds
the toad wallowing along in the gully.
"Today Mister Toad you must surely see it is better up here.
You are making such slow progress!
Shaking his head the toad replies, "Young frog, you seem to
think speed is important to me, you are mistaken!
Hop along young frog for I am happy here".
Now we find our frog again on a sunny day, hopping down the lane,
searching for flies.
It�s a sunny day and the frog is hopping along the lane when
who should he meet but the toad, walking slowly down the middle
of the lane... Not in the gully!
The frog is shock, amazed, what�s going on!?
"Mister Toad, Mister Toad, what happened to entice you out of the gully?"
"Ahhhh young frog, an interesting thing happened when you hopped away
the other day. A farmer came along on his tractor. Now hop along young
frog, I am happy here".
