Proud Father Frog

One morning, Baby Frog was taking a hop in the pond when he saw something very big. It was a carabao but he thought it was a giant frog. How frightened Baby Frog was! And when the carabao mooed, Baby Frog ran home trembling with fear. Oh, Father, he cried I saw a very big frog in the pond. Father Frog said, He cant be bigger than I. Im the biggest frog in this place. But hes very much bigger than you are, Father. Father Frog blew himself out until his stomach was round as a ball. Look at me now, is he bigger than I? Very much bigger, Father, said Baby Frog. But hes very much bigger than you Father, said the Little Frog. Again, Father Frog puffed himself out some more. He cant be bigger than I now. No frog can be bigger than I am. Proud Father Frog didnt like the answer. He took a deep breath. Then he blew himself out until his stomach burst. 2. Analysis and Discussion Describe Father Frog in the Story. (Present events through the train shown awhile ago. It maybe drawn on the board so teacher will write the answer of the pupils regarding events of the story.) Ask: 1. What happened first? What did the Baby Frog think about the carabao? 2. What happened next? If you were Baby Frog would you also fear something that is bigger than you? Why? What do you think must be on his mind when he saw the carabao? 3. What happened next in the third paragraph? What can you say about Father Frog? Why? 4. Finally, for the last train, what happened in the story?
