This is the story of two frogs.One frog was fat and the other

too slippery, so they were just swimming around.
The fad frog said to the skinny frog, “Brother frog, there’s no
use paddling any longer. We’re just going to drown, so we might
as well give up.
The skinny frog replied,”Hold on brother, keep paddling. A
person will get us out.”
They continued paddling for hours .After a while, the fat frog
said,”Brother frog,there’s no use .I’m becoming very tired now.
I’m just going to stop paddling and drown.It’s Sunday and
nobody ‘s working . We’re dommed. There’s no possible way out
 However, the skinny frog said,”keep trying. Keep paddling and drown. It’s
Sunday and nobody’s working. We’re dommed.There’s no possible way out of
here.”
Another couple of hours passed. The fat frog said,”I can’t go on any longer.
There’s no sense in doing it because we’re going to drown anyway. What’s the
use?

(Rewrite)
• Alone among the birds, a little goldfinch took no part in tjhe rejoicing .Somehow or other the fairy had overlooked it,so
that it remained uncolored,a drab little creature, in its sober gray dress, among thje gaily clothed throng.
• It is not possible, by means of words,to describe the beauty of the coloring which the fairy gave to the goldfinch.You
may see it any you like, sitting on a thistle, and chirping his song of gratitude and praise.
• Once a upon a time, when a fairy whose mission was to color the birds had finished her work, she began to scrape
her palette and to make ready for departure, She had done her task, well, for the plumage of the feathered creatures
all around her glowed with a thousand glorious bcolors.
• Then , the fairy took pity on the little creature and would gladly have painted it with glowing colors, buit alas, the fairy
had scraped her palatte clean.Therefore, she took up a brush and going from bird to bird took from beach a spot of
color, which she laid upon the goldfinch, blending a score of brilliant hues with marvelous skill. When she had finished ,
the tiny bird was transformed. Now, from being the saddest in that brilliant company, it took a place among the most
beautiful of them all.
• All the birds were very proud of their apperance, and they strutted about here and there. They gazed at their
reflections in the water and called upon their neighbors to come and admire their beaties.
• More than once it had tried to draqw the fairy’s attention to itself, and now, seeing the fairy cleaning her palette in
readiness to depart, it stepped forward and said,” Have pity on me, good fairy, and paint my plumage as you have
painted that of the others, so that I may walk among them unashamed. I have nothing to commend me – no beautiful
song like the nightinggale or the throttle, no grace of form such as the swallows have. If I am to go unadorned, nothing
remains for me’ but to hide among tjhe leaves.”
• There was a lordly eagle, arrayed in a robe of golden brown. A peacock had a tail of shimmering blue and green that
looked as if it were studded with precious stones. A crow’s black coat shone in the sun with a kind of steely radiance,
very wonderful to behold. A canary was a yellow as a buttercup, a jay had a spot of blue sky on either wing, even a
humble sparrow wore a handsome black neck –tie, and Chanticleer, the cock, was resplendent in yellow , black and
red.
