Once upon a time there was a frog 

named Loopy who worked as a 

sharecropper on a plantation owned by 

ducks and surrounded by wisteria and 

other flowering trees. The ducks that 

Loopy had to work with were 

persnickety and constantly made fun of 

him by calling him mean names.

Every day when Loopy walked home, 

the ducks called him rude names. Loopy 

was offended and did not know why 

they did this. However, he did not 

become bitter, but it sure did make him 

sad.

Each night when Loopy was in bed, he 

would think about the unkind words the 

ducks said to him. Loopy wished that 

one day the ducks wold be nicer and not 

pester him. Little did Loopy know, that 

wish was about to come true.

Every morning was mostly a routine for 

Loopy. He was resigned to his lonely life 

of hard work. Despite the sweltering 

heat, he got up and ventured to the 

watering hole to get water for the crops. 

This morning was different. Loopy heard 

an audible, "QUACK" coming from the 

east.

When Loopy saw what has happening, 

he was speechless. There was a squirrel 

eating the carrot crops! The nearby 

duck did nothing about it, for he was 

too scared and was immobilized. Loopy 

reproachfully jumped on the squirrel 

attempting to suffocate it. Loopy failed, 

but made the squirrel quickly scurry 

away.

At the end of the long day, Loopy 

walked home lethargically. During the 

beginning of the walk, he got no 

gratitude from the duck. A while later, 

the duck began to thank Loopy and tell 

him how brave he was for scaring away 

the squirrel. The duck explained that he 

was surprised at Loopy's phenomenal 

action and thanked him.
