Frodo's Best Jump Ever
MINI MINI STORIES
Frodo the Frog wanted to be the best jumper in the pond.
But no matter how hard he tried, it seemed he was never good enough.
One day, trying harder than ever, he landed splat right in the middle of the pond instead of on a lily pad.
Frodo plopped onto a tree stump, water dripping from his head.
He was feeling rather glum.
Then he saw Freya, his little sister, bouncing along happily like a tiny green pogo stick. She was completely unconcerned about being “the best.”
Frodo thought:
Maybe it’s not about jumping the highest…maybe it’s about enjoying the hop.
With this in mind, he took a deep breath, leapt without worrying, and… splash!
This time, Frodo laughed all the way through the jump.
Sometimes enjoying what you do is better than being the best.
