Two little frogs moved into a tree and it was oak.

They collected little coins

From the swans down the pond.

They never stole but did

Little chores for the swans down the pond.

Two little frogs collected

Little coins that day

After repairing the swans' nest.

The swans said their thanks,

Gave them their coins,

And the frogs went to do

Their little frog things.

They went back to their tree that was oak.

They put their coins

In their little treasure chest.

They didn't know what to do with the little coins,

But saw the humans collecting little coins

And thought they should too.

Pretty soon their treasure chest was full

And the little frogs looked at each other and shrugged.

They made a new treasure chest and began

Collecting little rocks that were pretty.

These pretty little things

Made the little frogs happy,

But their happiness did not fade that

Day their tree that was oak burned from

Lightning, and little as they were they

Could not uncover their little treasure chests,

But instead looked up at the

Sun that was setting.

The little frogs noted the pink and orange

In the sky and decided to collect sightings

Of the different skies that would pass.

Each was pretty and made the little frogs

Happy.

Happy and calm the little frogs were

Because nothing could take the skies from them.
