Taking a Swimming Break


When frogs swim in the puddle, there is nothing except them and the water. They feel the water and know that they must keep paddling. It does not matter how large or small the puddle is; when they swim all that matters is that they are emerged in water. Some frogs thrive in the water while others need to take occasional breaks. Our hero was in a puddle, a nice one, one that she thoroughly enjoyed yet she felt the need to hop out of it in order to reflect into it from the outside. It was must easier to grasp the concept of the puddle and her being in it from ashore. Now she feels the warm air, although a few scattered drops of water streak down her back. It is unclear how our hero will feel in a few days. Being on the ground may cause her to yearn for the comforting waters, or may cause her to fall in love with the soil and dry earth. She only hopes that she will be able to figure out what she wants without hurting any other frogs in the process.
