Hoppy Finds a Wig

Hoppy was leaping along when he came upon a wig alongside the stream. He thought, I sure would like to have some hair. So, with that, he set the wig upon his head and hopped merrily on his way to visit his friend, Guppy. She lived in another stream a short ways from his.

When Guppy saw him, she started laughing and laughing.

"What are you doing with that old wig on your head", she asked.

"Well, since I'm bald I thought it would be great to have hair", he replied.

"It looks so silly", Guppy burbled. "

Hoppy stated, "I'm still going to wear it."

And with that, he hopped on over to Squirrely's tree.

When he saw Hoppy, he started laughing so hard, he fell out of his tree.

"What are you doing with that old wig on your head," he asked.

Hoppy explained, "I'm bald so I thought it would be nice to have hair for a change."

"Silly Hoppy, Squirrely replied. Frogs don't have hair."

Hoppy thought about that for a moment, then took the wig off and threw it on the ground.

"I guess I don't need hair to be happy. I just need to be myself", he said to himself.

And with that, he hopped back to his stream, hopped onto his lilly pad, sat and croaked, happily, along with his other frog friends. He was glad to be just who he is.
