The Frog who had flies all day long! adapted by Joe Wos Once Upon a Toon… There was a frog. Like most frogs he lived in a swamp and most frogs he liked to eat... Flies! Nice big fat juicy flies! Yum Yum! Whenever he would see a fly, that tounge of his would zip out of the corner of his mouth and swap it was lunch. All day long he would sit on his lilypad and eat flies. He had flies for breakfast, flies for brunch, flies for lunch, flies for dinner and flies for his in between meal snacks. All the time it was all he did was eat flies. I happened to see this frog one day, and I watched him for about an hour. I watched him eat flies because it was all he seemed to do. All day long he ate those flies! Flies for breakfast, flies for brunch, flies for lunch, flies for dinner and flies for his in between meal snacks! It didn't look very fun, and I didn't really want to give it a try to find out one way or another. I felt bad for that poor little frog sitting there on his lily pad so finnally I went up to him. I walked right up to the edge of the pond and said,"Little frog! Little frog, what is wrong with you? All day long you sit here and eat flies, you eat flies for breakfast, flies for brunch, flies for lunch, flies for dinner and flies for his in between meal snacks. Don't you want to do more with your life? Don't you want to get out and see the world? Don't you want to have fun? Instead you spend all your time having flies!!! Little frog don't you want to have some fun?" Well, the little frog looked up at me, smiled and said "Times fun when your having flies!" He went back to eating his flies and lived hoppily ever after. The End |

If I had to pick one of my favorite and the most
popular animals in fairy tales and folktales it would be the frog! I've always loved frogs and I tell several frog stories. There is my twist on the classic story that I call "The Frog Princess," and There is the Australlian tale of the "Frog who Drank All the Water." I think I love telling frog stories but even more I love drawing frog stories! They are such fun and silly critters to draw. Of course the best thing about frogs is they always live Hoppily Ever After...
