Froggy Tales an Aesop fable "Mother!" Jumpy, the smallest froglet, exclaimed as he and his siblings hopped into their woodland home. "We had quite an unsettling adventure at the brook today!" The other froglets nodded their heads in enthusiastic agreement. Mother Frog laughed at her children, "Yes, my happy little froglets, tell me all about the excitement you had today." Jumpy began, "We were splashing in the sun-warmed water when suddenly, the sky turned dark. We thought a cloud had covered the sun, but when we looked up, there was a monstrous beast trampling through the reeds at the edge of the brook. He had four strong legs, huge hooves, and scary horns on his head! We were absolutely terrified, Mother!" Mother Frog smiled at her silly froglets and explained, "That wasn't a scary beast, my little froglets. That was only Farmer Tilly's gentle ox looking for playmates. He, too, enjoys splashing in the water in the warm summer sun." The froglets were surprised by their mother's explanation but were extremely relieved that they had not been in any danger. More than anything, they were happy to learn they would have a new playmate. Puffing herself out, Mother Frog decided to tease her froglets, "Surely, I am much bigger than the beast!" The froglets shook their heads in unison and insisted that the beast was much, much bigger. Not wanting to be outdone by an unassuming farm animal, she puffed herself out even more. Then, Mother Frog exclaimed, "Certainly, he could not have been bigger than I am now!" Again, the froglets claimed that the beast was much, much bigger. With one more gigantic puff, Mother Frog puffed bigger for the very last time. And that was the end of her. Froggy Tales an Aesop fable "Mother!"
