This is a fun respose to Mike Singleton's piece 'Jump'. Mike's wrote:

The frogs all gathered around the Lily Pond for the big jump. The judge was seated on his own lily, and the two athletes limbered up, ready to make the big jump.
Would they leave their starting lily and make they one where the third athlete was smugly sitting, or would they end up in the cold waters of the lily pond?
This is the moment.
Everybody is waiting.
The crowd goes silent, and the judge gives the signal.
They JUMP!!!

Wheeee! Both frogs leapt high into the bright blue sky.
The first frog went boing... but oh no! He missed the leaf. SPLASH! Down he went into the cold, wet water with a big, bubbly bubble.
The second frog flew like a little green rocket. PLOP! He landed right on the lily pad! He gave the smug frog a gentle bump, and that frog tumbled into the water too!
All the little bugs and frogs cheered, "Croak, Croak, Hooray!" The judge smiled and gave the winner a big, shiny crown.
