This time it's about "Young frogs and their mother." A long time ago, there were young frogs and their mother. That young frogs and their mother were very happy when the rainy season came. There was also a frog. That frog was a type of bullfrog, lived in the footprints of wild animals during the rainy season in the forest. During the rainy season, wild animals, tigers, elephants, and lions roamed the forest, leaving footprints. In the footprints, one of the female frogs laid eggs. After laid the eggs, the sun became hot and rainy, and the eggs hatched day by day. When the young frogs hatched from the eggs, the young frogs were very happy in those animal's footprints. The young frogs and their mother lived happily in that footprints, and the mother frog often went out looking for food. When she went out to find food, she left her young frogs in that animal's footprints. And so, one day, the young frogs told their mother, "Mommy, we also want to get out of this footprint," said the young frogs. "We want to walk out of this house and want to visit like you, Mom," continued the young frogs. So, the mother frog replied to them, "Oh my dears! There is very difficult and dangerous to go outside, that's why you shouldn't go out and visit, and you have to stay only here." "There is no one bigger in this area than me," "so, do not go out and anywhere," warned mother frog. With that, "Is that right?" the young frogs said to their mother. They believed that there was no animal bigger than their mother and left in that footprint. One day, when they became grown-up, their mother was out looking for food, an elephant passed by outside. As soon as they saw that big elephant, they were amazed, "Ah Ga! What's this animal bigger than our mother?" "And what kind of animal is it?" they were wondering and said to themselves. So, they waited for their mother to return to ask about that. In the evening, their mother returned home. When their mother returned, they said: "Today, we saw an animal bigger than you and passed through here." "So, what animal is enormous than me? As she said, she puffed up and inflated her body. She puffed up her body with her mouth, then the young said to her, "The animal we saw is larger than you, that it was not enough." Then the mother frog swelled up her body again, and "Is that enough? She asked her children. "Not yet, Mom. It was bigger than that, not that much yet," the young frogs replied their mother. Then the mother frog swelled up her body again, and "Is this much enough?" mother frog asked her children again. The mother frog swelled up again and again, asked again to her children again and again. The young frogs kept reply "Not that much yet," to their mother. Finally, the mother frog swelled up so much that she eventually exploded and died. The story ends here.
