The Pond by Renee Moore and Tony Anderson

 


Once upon a time, two frogs were sitting on a log in the pond.  Talking with each other about their next meal.  so discussing the possibility of leaving the pond one day.  They were wondering what they would find if it would be hard to find food.  when a baby turtle it's head up out of the water in front of them.  They turtle had been listening to them and agreed to carry them on the back of his shell.  They were scared to leave the place they had known all their lives  However the smile on the baby turtle's face gave them the courage to face their fears.  So the frogs climbed onto the turtle's back, and they set off.   

          The first thing they saw was an Alpaca.  What is this strange creature the Frogs thought.  The Alpaca lowed it's head and in a deep voice introduced itself, and the other animals on the farm.  They all agreed that the cows sounded like quite a sight.  So they went to the fields to find them.  On the way, they passed the farmhouse.  The little farm boy was spooked because he had never seen such creatures before.  The mother joined her son.  Just when the frogs spoke.  Hello, we did not mean to spook you.  then told the child and his mother, that they should visit the pond sometime,  It's such a lovely place.  The mother and child agreed to visit the pond.  The trio found the cows.  You have very nice leaves to eat here.  said the turtle as he began to snack.  The cows agreed and after a small snack, the cows told their guests all about their part of the farm. 

          They thanked the cows for the tour, and went back to the pond. Just as a camera-crew started seting up.  They gave a tour of the pond for the camera-crew.  A fish jumped in the background.  That's flash he likes to show off, one of the frogs said.  At that time some wolves showed up.  The camera-crew knew what to do, and sent thhose wolves running.  All the creatures in the pond settled in for the night.  Now the most famous and protected pond in the world.  They had a good sleep.  In the morning they were surprised at all the people who had come to visit them.  What a difference a little visit to the farm has made!  They thought, and greeted their new visitors.  Some bears came out of the woods, but they were friendly, and just wanted hugs.  It took some convincing, but eventually the scared camera-crew came back and hugged them to.  Everyone had snacks and chatted.  The camera-crew got to learn all about life in the woods and meet the cows and Alpaca.  The pond animals, farm animals, and human visitors have a weekly get together
