The sun was shining and the birds were singing. Little John wanted to play outside.
John's mum said, "I will permit you to go outside and play if you promise to be careful."
John promised to be careful and excitedly rushed outside. He saw a field of wheat and ran to explore it. After walking for a while, he stopped and looked down. He saw something disgusting: a large green frog in the wheat.
The frog could just about speak. "Help me," it said.
John thought for a moment and then said, "I will help you if you promise to be careful and not do anything disgusting."
The frog promised to be careful and John picked it up and carried it to a nearby lake. As the frog jumped into the cool water, it said, "Thank you John! I promise to stay safe."
John smiled and said, "You're welcome. See you soon!" Then he ran back to his home, happy that his mum will permit him much more fun the next day.
