Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Alice. She loved to play with her favorite toys, her apple-shaped ball, her cute fluffy cat, and her beautiful doll. One day, while playing in her backyard, she saw a tiny frog hopping around. She was so excited, she had never seen a frog before. She wanted to catch it, but she didn't want to hurt it. So she went inside to grab an egg carton and a glass of water. She gently scooped up the frog and put it into the carton.

She looked around for a hat to cover the carton and keep the frog in the shade. She found a small sunhat and placed it over the carton. The frog seemed happy and content, and Alice was happy to have a new friend. She spent the whole afternoon playing with her new friend and showing it to her other toys. They all got along very well and had a great time together.

As the sun began to set, Alice knew it was time for the frog to go back to its home. She carefully placed the frog back in the backyard and watched it hop away. She was sad to see it go, but she was glad she got to meet it. From that day on, she would always remember the day she caught a frog and made a new friend.

The end.

1. What did Alice do to make sure she didn't hurt the frog when she caught it?
2. Why did Alice put a hat over the carton where she put the frog?
