Darwin's Idea Of Evolution In Five Little Speckled Frogs

Charles Darwin’s idea of evolution can be applied to this nursery rhyme. The nursery rhyme, Five Little Speckled Frogs, continues to repeat itself, however, each time there is one less frog. It can be said that the five little frogs represent their species, amphibians or frogs, whichever. They are described as speckled, as is the log, showing that the frogs are blending in when sitting on the log. They are content and satisfied on the log until one decides to jump off into a cool pool. It no longer blends into the speckled log and did not survive. This shows the idea of adapting to your surroundings, even though this one shows how the frog did not. If you do not adapt to your surroundings then you will fall behind, or in this case, be killed.
