Have you ever been scared of something even though everyone tells you its no big deal?! 

Well, my name is Frank, and as you can see, I am a frog. Everyone knows that frogs like water...right?! 

Just one small problem... I don't!

These are my friends Phil, Fred and Finn and yesterday.... 

they crossed the pond....

We live in this pond with our families. 

For as long as I can remember, I have been scared to get in the water.

My friends and I usually just hang out on my safe little rock here. Except for yesterday, when my three best friends decided to swim across the pond!

There was just one small problem ... I was scared of the water!

I watched safely from my rock as my three very best friends laughed and explored without me.

They tried to remind me that frogs are not afraid of water....

but there was one small problem.... 

I was!

I watched them laugh and splash and croak. This made me decide to try and dip my toe in the water.

But there was one small problem.... I was afraid of the water.
