Once upon a time, in a land quite far,
Lived a tiny frog, who loved to hop and spar.
He lived near a pond, with lilies and cattails,
And caught flies in the air, with his sticky, long nails.

But one day, as he leaped and played,
He felt a rumble in his tummy, like a thunderclap made.
He searched for some food, with his eyes wide open,
But nothing he found, made him feel less broken.

He hopped and hopped, to find something to eat,
But his hunger grew stronger, with each passing beat.
Then he saw a fly, zooming up in the sky,
He jumped and caught it, with his tongue so sly.

His hunger now satiated, he felt quite content,
And with a full belly, he was glad and bent.
He looked up in the sky, and saw birds fly high,
And he wished he could join them, up in the sky.

But for now, he was happy, with his food in his tummy,
And he hopped back to his pond, where the water was bubbly.
And with a big, satisfied grin on his face,
He settled down for a nap, in his favorite place.

So if you ever feel hungry, like our little frog,
Just keep hopping and searching, like a cute little dog.
And soon you'll find food, to make you feel great,
And you'll be happy and full, like our little mate.
