The Little Frogs

Three frogs looked around them and looked at each other and discovered they were in a milk churn that was full of milk. Now, they had no idea how they had got there but they were indeed in a milk churn.  They looked up and could see the sky.

Now, these frogs were in a bit of a predicament and they had no idea what to do or how to get out. One frog started blaming the others and started shouting at them, one frog just cried and cried and the other frog just kept saying ‘I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to do.’

After a while the frogs stopped what they were doing and look at each other.  Had all the shouting, crying and complaining changed anything?  Nope, they were still stuck in the milk churn that was full of milk with no obvious way out.

One of the frogs began to swim around in the milk and told the others it wasn’t too bad and to join in. So in the milk churn full of milk the three frogs began to swim and as they swam they chatted and chatted and found themselves beginning to laugh and giggle. They hadn’t asked to end up in a milk churn full of milk but swimming in the milk was what made it seem better.  They even sang songs and put together their very own synchronised swim.

Whenever a frog became tired the other frogs would hold them up to allow them to rest as swimming in milk in a milk churn can be very tiring. Once rested the frog would begin swimming around again and laughed and giggled and sang with the others. There was no way any of them were going to sink.
After a while, the frogs began to notice that it wasn’t so easy to swim anymore and it was harder and harder to move their legs.

‘Oh no! What now?’ they said together, but when they looked down they noticed something amazing! It was the milk, there was something different about the milk.

Rather than swimming in milk they were now sitting, yes sitting on top of cream!  All the swimming had churned the milk and turned it into cream and now they were sitting on top of it! They looked at each other and were very proud of what they had achieved with their little frog legs.

Then, they looked again!  They could see more of the sky than before.  The cream had risen to the top and now they were sitting looking up and out of the milk churn.

So, when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
