Once upon a time, there was a dance-loving frog named Freddie. He loved to swim and jump in the pond, but he also had a dream of learning to dance like a horse, so he set out on an adventure!

Along the way, he met a bird who could sing beautifully and a chimp who loved to run. Freddie asked them to teach him how to dance like a horse, but they said that only horses know how to dance that way.

Determined to make his dream come true, Freddie swam to the other side of the pond where he met a horse named Hayley. Hayley agreed to teach Freddie how to dance, but first, she wanted to see him swim. Freddie showed off his best strokes and jumps, and Hayley was impressed.

Next, Hayley taught Freddie some horse dance moves, and he practiced all day long. Finally, it was time for the big performance. Freddie danced in front of a group of birds, chimps, horses, and even some fish, and they were all amazed at how well he danced!

From that day on, Freddie was known as the dancing frog and he continued to dance, swim, and jump with his new friends. The end.
