Once upon a time, at a quiet pond, there lived a mother frog with her playful tadpoles.

They jumped and splashed, happy in their watery home, under the warm sun.

One hot day, a large, thirsty cow came to the pond to quench her thirst.

As the cow drank deeply, she accidentally stepped on one of the tadpoles.

The pond went silent. The tadpoles were scared and very sad about their sibling.

The tadpoles swam to their mother and told her about the big, scary cow.

Mother Frog decided to make herself big and scary to protect her family.

She puffed up once, but the tadpoles shook their heads, saying she needed to be bigger.

Bravely, she puffed up more, her eyes bulging. Yet, her tadpoles were still not convinced.

The mother frog inhaled deeply, trying with all her might to swell up even greater.

Suddenly, she realized danger. 'I must stop,' she thought, exhaling slowly.

In the end, Mother Frog told her tadpoles, 'Being brave is good, but wisdom is better.'
