Once upon a time there was a little boy who loved playing with frogs. One day the boy ran down to the river to catch some. He saw a bunch of them and collected the frogs in his pocket. The boys name was Andrew. Andrew took the frogs home to show his mother. His mother said that he could keep the frogs if he took very good care of them. Andrew was very happy.
