Eddy, the frog

Eddy, the frog.

One day, Eddy, the frog, meets his two friends: Tom, the squirrel, and Mary, the bird.

"Eddy, can you climb trees?" Tom, the squirrel, asks. "No, I can't." Eddy says. The squirrel laughs and climbs up a tree.

"Eddy, can you sing?" Mary, the bird, asks. "No, I can't." Eddy says. Mary laughs and sings a beautiful song.

​

"Look," Eddy says, "I can swim." He jumps into the water and swims. "That's nothing". Tom and Mary say. Eddy is sad and he goes away.

​

He comes to a circus. There he meets a monkey. The monkey is juggling. "Fantastic," Eddy says, "please, teach me to juggle." And the monkey teaches Eddy to juggle. Eddy is happy because he can juggle. Then he goes back to his friends.

He says to them "Look! I can juggle." But his friends don't like it. Eddy is sad again.

​

At that moment a baby bird falls into the water. It cannot swim. "Help! Help!" it shouts. Marry and Tom cannot swim, they cannot help the baby bird.

​

Eddy jumps into the water and helps the baby bird out of the water. "Thank you, Eddy!" the baby bird says. Mary and Tom also say thank you to Eddy.

They ask him "Please, teach us to swim." And they ask him to teach them to juggle. Eddy says yes. He is very happy and smiles.
