Giuseppe was a clever frog. He always thought he knew everything. That was why he never asked for anyone’s advice or opinions!

One day, Giuseppe was very happy and he went into the forest to play. After playing for some hours, he wanted to go home. “I can take the long way back to the pond (池塘),” he thought. “Who knows what I can find along the way?”

He jumped down the road. But before long, he lost his way. Just then, a butterfly came by. “Oh, hello, Giuseppe!” the butterfly said. “You’re quite far from the pond. Do you want me to show you the way?” “Oh no, I’m fine!” he told the butterfly. It was getting quite dark. Giuseppe met a rabbit. “What’s a little frog like you doing in the forest at this time of night? Do you want any help?” the rabbit asked. “Oh no, I am … looking at the stars!” Giuseppe said and hurried away.

Now the forest was really dark and quiet. No animals came by. Giuseppe couldn’t find his way home. He had to spend a rainy and windy night under a mushroom (蘑菇).

“I should listen to others!” Giuseppe thought.
