Frog's Bright Idea

Author: Ranjeet Kaur

Illustrator: Partho Sengupta

Translator: Magdalena Cooper

One day Frog was very hungry.

So he went to search for food.

Behind the leaves, he saw a lot of insects flying around.

“Today, I’ll eat until I’m full!” he thought.

Frog jumped here.

Frog jumped there.

Frog jumped up.

Frog jumped down.

But he couldn't catch anything!

After all that jumping he was starving!

“They’re all so fast!” he panted.

“I can’t catch a single one.”

“If this goes on, I will die of hunger!”

Suddenly he saw a light shining far away. He went towards it.

“Wow!” said frog.

There was a candle with bugs and moths flying all around.

Frog ate and ate until  he couldn’t eat anymore.

The next evening Frog came down to the pond with a candle of his own.

He put it right at the edge of the pond and lit it.

Soon, his candle was surrounded by insects and frog ate and ate.

Frog ate until he couldn't eat anymore!

A few days later the pond looked very different.

Now every night the frogs feast in the light of the candles.
