Once upon a time, in a small village lived a farmer named Fred. He had a big farm with animals, crops, and trees. One day, as Fred was walking through his farm, he stumbled upon a feather. He picked it up and looked around to see where it might have come from.

Suddenly, a tiny frog hopped out of nowhere and said, "Hey there, farmer! That's my feather, I dropped it while trying to fly."

Fred was surprised to see a talking frog and asked, "You can fly? How come I have never seen you do that before?"

The frog replied, "Well, I have been practicing every day, but I still can't seem to get it right."

Fred felt bad for the frog and offered to help. "Let's go to my barn and see if we can find a solution."

In the barn, Fred found a piece of fleece and a fork. He tied the feather to the fleece and then used the fork to create a glider. He handed it to the frog and said, "Now, give it a try."

The frog hopped onto the glider and started flapping its arms. To their surprise, the glider lifted off the ground, and the frog started flying around the barn, shouting with joy, "I'm flying! I'm flying!"

Fred was so happy to see the frog fly that he decided to have a celebration. He invited all his family, friends, and the animals on the farm to come and witness the flying frog.

Everyone gathered, and the frog made several flybys, impressing everyone. After the show, they all sat down to enjoy a feast of fruits and fish.

As they ate, the farmer's friends started to talk about how they wished they could fly too. So, Fred used the remaining fleece and feathers to create gliders for everyone.

In no time, all the friends, family, and even the farmer, were flying around the barn, laughing and having a great time. From that day on, the flying frog and farmer Fred became the best of friends and had many exciting adventures together.

And that, children, is the story of how a feather, a piece of fleece, a fork, and a farmer helped a frog learn to fly and made many new friends along the way. The end.
