Once upon a time, in a lush, green forest, there lived a little frog named Fredrick. Fredrick was not your ordinary frog. While other frogs spent their days croaking, hopping, and catching flies, Fredrick had a unique gift. He could talk! Not just in frog-speak, but in clear, human-like words.
This ability was both a blessing and a curse. You see, the forest animals were initially amazed by Fredrick’s ability to speak. The birds would gather around to hear him tell stories, the rabbits would stop by to ask for advice, and the squirrels loved listening to him sing songs. But as time went on, Fredrick realized that the attention wasn’t all that great. Everyone wanted to ask him questions, but nobody ever wanted to just hang out and be his friend. They were more interested in what he could say than who he truly was.
