Frog Story Epilouge

Well as fate would have it Mrs. Froggy died. But the 14 day warentee hadn't ended yet. So Mom went into Petsmart and got another frog. She must really love us.

The Frog Story

Once upon a time there was a family reunion in Island Park. One day of this reunion Kendra was down by the pond. After trying very hard she caught a tadpole, hoping it would turn into a handsome prince. Having caught Mom at a good moment, she said we could take it home.(Mom didn't think it would live) Kendra nursed and loved this tadpole and we all watched as it grew legs. Then it became to big for its small fishbowl. It needed more room. What would we do?






Kendra is full of luck. On a trip to the DI we found a cage that would house him until he became a prince.





We took the cage home and washed it, decorated it, and picked out some of the finest rocks for it. But sadly our Mother's prayers were answered that night. The tadpole died! However, our mother was softened again and gave in to getting more future husbands for us.





This is Monsieur Froggy/Monsieur Froggy Woggy/ or Prince Naveen. He has been the only frog that has lived through this whole story.






This is Madam Froggy/or Mrs. Froggy. She is the fourth frog. Two died before her but now its just her and Mr. Froggy. And they are living happily ever after.
The End.


I guess you could call our family the amphibian family cause all of us have a pet fish and now the two frogs. :)
