a little tadpole story

once upon a time, there was a little tadpole that lived in a pond. the little tadpole was all alone and did not have any friends. there was a group of tadpoles that lived on the other side of the pond. so the little tadpole swam up to the group and watched them play. the other tadpoles were playing very happily and the little tadpole wished he could join them. one of the tadpoles from the group swam up to the little tadpole and invited him to join the group. tears rolled down the little tadpole’s eyes as he said, swim over with me to the group. the tadpole from the group looked at the little tadpole and again asked him to join the group. the little tadpole turned around and started swimming away. and when he was far enough, he shouted, SWIM OVER WITH ME... SWIM OVER WITH ME
