FROG
In a lush, green garden, there lived a small, cheerful frog named Finn. Finn loved hopping around the garden pond, where he spent his days singing and enjoying the cool waters. Just by the pond grew a magnificent rose plant, adorned with a single vibrant red rose that stood out like a jewel amidst the greenery.
The rose was beautiful but lonely. She often swayed gently in the breeze, watching the other flowers in the garden chat with butterflies and bees. But being high up on her thorny stem, she felt distant from the lively buzz around her.
One day, Finn noticed the rose looking wistfully at the pond. Curious, he hopped closer and asked, “Why do you look so sad, dear rose? You’re the most beautiful flower in this garden!”
The rose sighed and replied, “I may be beautiful, but no one comes close enough to be my friend. The butterflies are scared of my thorns, and the bees prefer flowers that are easier to reach.”
Finn thought for a moment and said, “Beauty shouldn’t keep you lonely. Let’s be friends! I’ll visit you every day and tell you stories about the world below.”
The rose smiled. “I’d love that,” she said softly.
From that day on, Finn made it his mission to cheer up the rose. He told her tales of the pond creatures, mimicked the buzzing of the bees, and even sang his silly frog songs to make her laugh. The rose, in turn, shared her dreams of one day touching the water and seeing her reflection.
One evening, a sudden storm swept through the garden. Heavy rains and strong winds lashed at the plants, and the rose’s delicate petals began to tremble. Finn, seeing his friend in distress, leaped to her side. “Hold on, rose! I’ll protect you!” he croaked.
Despite the storm’s ferocity, Finn wrapped himself around the rose’s stem, shielding her from the wind and rain. By morning, the storm had passed. Though Finn was soaked and tired, the rose stood unharmed, her petals glistening like rubies in the sunlight.
“Thank you, Finn,” the rose whispered. “You saved me.”
Finn smiled and said, “That’s what friends do.”
From that day, their bond grew even stronger. The rose no longer felt lonely, for she had a friend who saw her inner beauty and stayed by her side through thick and thin. And Finn, whenever he looked at the rose, was reminded that even the tallest and most delicate beings sometimes need a little help from those below.
And so, the frog and the rose flower became a symbol of unlikely yet beautiful friendships, proving that true connections blossom when hearts are open. 🌹🐸
