One day, a bossy frog named Fred lived in a swamp. He liked to tell all his friends what to do. He also liked to paint. He would paint the trees, the water, and even his friends. All the animals in the swamp did not like Fred's bossy ways.
One day, a little bird named Billy came to the swamp. "Hi, I am Billy. Can I paint with you?" he asked. Fred said, "Yes, but you have to do what I say." Billy did not like that, but he wanted to paint, so he said, "Okay."
As they started to paint, Billy had a funny idea. He told Fred, "I can paint better with my eyes closed." Fred did not believe him, so Billy said, "Let's try it!" They both closed their eyes and started to paint. When they were done, they looked at their work. The painting was not what they thought it would be. It was a big mess! They both laughed and had fun. From that day on, Fred was not bossy anymore.
