Godfrey 原本是顆卵,接著變成蝌蚪,然後成了青蛙。這一連串的變化讓他覺得人生好新奇、好刺激。
但——變化突然停了下來。
他開始想:
「蛤?就這樣嗎?」
「其他動物都有很酷的地方——熊有利爪、鹿有角、蒼鷺還會飛……」
而自己,只是「一隻青蛙」。
失望的 Godfrey 躲進泥巴裡,不想面對世界了。
這時,小魚 Brinley、小蝸牛 Radcliffe 和小蝦 Penelope 出現了。他們一邊聽他吐苦水,一邊用溫柔的方式告訴他:
「做青蛙,其實也很棒呀!」
他們一起提醒 Godfrey,每個生命階段都有它的美好與獨特,不一定要再變才能有價值。
Godfrey used to be an egg, then he was a tadpole. Now, Godfrey is a frog. He changed quickly and it was all very exciting. He's waiting for the next change . . . but it seems there isn't one.
Is this it? Godfrey thinks. It's not very exciting. Bear has wonderful claws, Deer has impressive antlers, Heron has majestic wings. Godfrey buries himself in the mud and hides away from the world. He doesn't want to be just a frog.
Can Brinley the minnow, Radcliffe the snail, and Penelope the shrimp convince Godfrey that a frog is a pretty special thing to be?
