The Frog Who Wanted to Fly

 


In a quiet village near a small pond, there lived a little frog named Fino. Every day, he watched birds flying high in the sky and wished he could fly too. One day, he climbed into a rock and jumped as high as he could, but he fell back into the water. He tried again with big leaves as wings, but he still couldn’t fly. The other animals laughed, and Fino felt sad. “Maybe I will never fly,” he said. An old turtle named Taro saw him and said, “Maybe you don’t need wings to see the world.”

The next day, Taro asked two birds to help Fino. They held a stick, and Fino held it tightly as they lifted him into the sky. For the first time, Fino saw the village from above and felt very happy. When he came down, he smiled and said, “Thank you!” Taro said, “You don’t have to be like others. You just need to find your own way.” From that day on, Fino learned to be happy with himself and to ask for help when he needed it.
