Frog the Frog

Another character from my daughter. "Tell me about Fred and Frog." "Frog"? "Yes, Frog. He's a frog. his name is Frog." "OK then."

Once upon a time, there was a duck named Fred.

He lived in a nest in a forest, and he knew everyone in the forest.

This day, he decided to go visit his friend Frog. Frog, as you might guess, was a frog. (Frog's mother wasn't particularly imaginative that day. She had a lot of tadpoles to name, so it's understandable.)

As with most of his visits, it started out with a "hi, Frog, how are you?" and a returned, "Good, how are you doing, Fred?"

It turned out that Frog's sister was going to come by that afternoon, and bring the tadpoles for "a little family thing," as Frog described it.

"That sounds fun, Frog. Do you want to go for a hike with me this morning?" asked Fred.

"OK, that sounds great, Fred," replied Frog, and off they went.

They went around the frog pond to the creek, and spent some time chatting with Ned (Fred's best friend, who happens to be a fish) and they stopped off to see Red, then went back to the frog pond.

They arrived just in time to be met by a frog - Frog's sister, Frina - and three tadpoles swimming in the pond.

Greetings were exchanged, and then Fred excused himself, and flew back to his nest, where he had a little snack (5 bugs) and spent the afternoon reading and watching the clouds.

When it got dark out, Fred sighed, tucked his little duck head under his duck wing, and fell asleep.
