Script

There was a little frog with green spots. That frog made very big sounds. ® The other frogs in the lake got on the shore and made sounds. Some went “Ding, ding, ding.” Some of the big frogs made deep sounds: “Ruck, ruck, ruck.” But the little frog with green spots made this sound: “Blap, blap, blap.” © The sound was very loud. Frogs like to sing with each other. They ding and ruck and ruck and ding. But the frogs that ding and ruck did not like the sounds that the little frog made. When he went, “Blap, blap, blap, they said, “Stop that blap, blap. Those sounds are too loud. How can we sing if you make loud sounds?”©

Then these frogs said, “Yes, stop blapping and start singing.” Soon one of the other frogs said, “Let’s dive in the lake and get out of here.” And they did.

The little frog had a mother. She said, “You make sounds that are like big teeth. They bite my ears.” @

The little frog with green spots was sad. He said,

“I do not like to make those big sounds. But I can not sing the way the other frogs sing.”
