Why Frogs Jump

Why Frogs Jump. Once upon a time, there was a frog. This frog was named Matthias. He had four legs that were used for getting around. Matthias was green, he walked on all four of his feet. He lived in a pond, in the enchanted Rainforest in Africa. He lived with his grandparents. Matthias has no siblings and no parents. They got attacked by the evil snakes. The frog population was at risk, due to the frequent snake attacks. So, Matthias started to build forts, for his, his grandparents, and his populations safety. He worked hard everyday, and he wished that all these evil snakes would one day disappear.

One day Matthias decided to take a journey in the Rainforest to gather supplies to make his fort bigger. He heard that this enchanted forest had plenty materials that he needed. As Matthias proceeded on his journey, he meets a squirrel. The squirrel introduces herself, her name is Patty. They chatted for a bit then Matthias starts to tell her what's going on to his population. When he finishes telling her, Patty is surprised because the same thing is happening to her species. She starts to explain to Matthias about some wishing tree her parents told her about. The tree is humongous, has bright pink leaves all year around, and has orange colour bark. This special tree is known as Willowmena. In order to make a wish, you'll have to eat one piece of the bark and then wish whatever you want. Patty shows Matthias how he's going to find the tree. Then he continues on his journey, all by himself.

As Matthias moves closer to the tree, Willowmena. He suddenly gets the urge to drink tons and tons of water. He searches for water, then he finally finds a beautiful waterfall. Matthias runs as fast as he can towards the waterfall and starts drinking away as much as he could. He felt very refreshed after. He gets up and starts walking away. Then he starts to gradually develop hiccups and doesn't know what to do. He picks up his pace to get to Willowmena. Matthias runs
