"Frog, where are you?"
"Frog, where are you?"
One day, Pete and his stubby little dog Albus brought home a frog they had found earlier that day in St. Mary's Park. Before going to bed, Pete put the frog in an empty jam jar, to examine it the following morning. In the middle of the night, the frog whom Pete decided to name Clementi, found it's way out of the jar and bounced his way back to the park. The moment the sun came out, Pete anxiously got up to greet his new little friend, and maybe feed him some delicious breakfast flies, but to his horror little Clementi was no longer there. Pete quickly got dressed and him and Albus followed the trail back to park were they had found Clementi. They looked for him everywhere. As Albus howled across the wildflower fields, Pete shouted "Clemeti, Clementi where are you, you toad?", but the only ones that replied where the noisy black sparrows that flew off slightly annoyed.
Clementi wasn't in a hole in a tree either, and he wasn't near the beehive that clumsy Albus knocked down... Pete was about to give up, when he decided to climb a big rock to see if he could spot him from up high. He repeated his howl, "Clemeti, Clementi where are you, you frog?". Suddenly a deer leaped from behind the rocks and pushed Pete and poor Albus of a cliff. They both fell and plunged to a shallow pond. Albus dragged drowsy Pete so he could latch on to a floating hollow log, which was quite unnecessary since the pond was barely five inches deep. Pete regained consciousness thanks to the slobberness of Albus's incessant lick. Slowly, a blurry image became clear, and Pete now took notice on what he had in front of him. A big Papa frog, next to it a smaller Mama frog and half a dozen baby frogs, all staring at him with their big squishy eyes. Pete realized Papa frog was his lost friend Clementi, except he was no longer lost. He had returned home to the empty log where he and his family lived. Pete felt sad to leave his friend behind, but knew he was much needed at home with his family. Albus and Pete set themselves off their way back home, as Clementi began to sing. Joined by the rest of his family, they choired a tune goodbye.
The End.
