Once upon a time, there was a frog named Freddy who lived in a pond. He had a long tail and liked to lay eggs. One day, Freddy laid an egg and it hatched into a tiny froglet. The froglet was still a tadpole and much smaller than Freddy. Freddy was so proud of his little one and wanted it to grow up big and strong.
But then, something strange happened. Freddy's tadpole started to shrink and soon became even smaller than when it first hatched. Freddy was worried and asked all his friends in the pond for help. They told him that the tadpole needed to eat elgs (not legs, but elgs!) to grow. So, Freddy went out and found some elgs for his tadpole.
And what do you know, the tadpole started to grow again, bigger and stronger every day. Freddy was so happy to see his tadpole grow and eventually turn into a full-fledged frog just like him. From then on, Freddy made sure his tadpole always had plenty of elgs to eat and grew up to be a happy and healthy frog. The end.

Reflections

1. What was the problem with Freddy's tadpole in the beginning of the story?
2. What did Freddy do to help his tadpole grow?
3. What did Freddy's friends tell him about how to help his tadpole grow?
4. How did the tadpole change after Freddy fed it elgs?
5. What lesson did Freddy learn in this story?
