Frog and toad story for kids
Beibei always thought he was just like the other little ones.
At first, everyone was a round egg. Later, they grew long tails and turned into tadpoles. The tadpoles grew bigger and bigger, developed four legs, shed their long tails and black coats, and could swim, crawl, and hop. At this stage, they were called frogs.
The frogs looked different from each other. Some wore green clothes, and others wore yellow coats. Only Beibei was neither green nor black. It was hard to describe his color, which always seemed a bit dirty. He stayed in the water, washing and washing, but he couldn’t change his color.
Later, Beibei started to feel itchy, so he jumped onto the mud by the river and rubbed himself. This was a big problem because many little bumps started to appear on his body.
“Oh no, this is terrible! The dirt must have gotten into your skin. Let me help you scrub it off,” said Beibei’s good friend, Green Dudu, as he began to scrub Beibei. But it was useless. The bumps grew bigger and bigger.
“What’s happening?” Beibei said angrily, with his big eyes wide open. Green Dudu thought for a moment and then whispered, “I know! These bumps are filled with air—your anger, your sighs of sadness, and your resentment toward others. When there’s too much of this air, your belly can’t hold it all, so it comes out as bumps on your body.”
Beibei thought this made sense. It seemed he had too much air in him and needed to release it. He tried hard to adjust his emotions, to avoid getting angry, and to not hold any air in his belly. But the bumps continued to grow.
“Toad Mama is here to find her child!” This news spread throughout the frog community. When Green Dudu and Beibei saw Toad Mama, they both understood. Beibei wasn’t a frog; he was a toad! Beibei looked just like Toad Mama, covered in bumps.
“Welcome home!” the little toads greeted Beibei. Beibei touched his bumps and smiled. “Your bumps are beautiful!” a toad said, coming over. For the first time, Beibei seriously admired his bumps. They were plump and not ugly at all.
From then on, Beibei slowly grew to like his bumps. He often proudly said, “I am a toad, not a frog. If you can’t tell the difference, just look at my bumps.”
