Exploring the Adventures of a Reluctant Frog

A frog wishes to be different animals, like a cat, rabbit, pig, or owl, but is told it cannot due to its inherent traits. Through conversations, the frog learns that being a frog has its advantages, such as not being eaten by predators. Ultimately, the frog accepts its identity, realizing the benefits of being itself.

Why can't the frog become a cat?

• Because it's too small

• Because it can't meow

• Because it's actually a frog

• Because it doesn't like water
