Description

On a bright summer morning, two cheerful Ducks wander to a sparkling brook, ready for a swim among the flowers, reeds, and dancing water. Instead, they discover a solemn gathering of Frogs, who have assembled to discuss the dangers threatening their peaceful bogland home. Their bottle-green spokesman describes the cruel fate awaiting Frogs captured for bait and food, and the Ducks listen with growing sympathy.

The meeting soon turns into a lively debate. The Ducks suggest preparing a thoughtful petition to win human pity, while a bold young Frog proposes escaping the trouble altogether through emigration—a suggestion that earns him a sharp rebuke. Told in playful, rhyming verse, this gentle animal tale combines humor, nature, and a child-friendly lesson about courage, compassion, and standing together. Listeners will enjoy the lively speeches, musical language, and colorful cast of pond-dwellers as the Ducks become involved in the Frogs’ unusual attempt to protect their community.
