I think my mother is the prettiest frog ever! And she's smart, too. When I was little, like my baby brother Quigley is now, Mom taught me some important rules to live by. She called them her Golden Swamp Rules. I guess you could say that these rules helped to make me the frog I am today. Even though they're rules for frogs to live by, I think they'd work for young human kids, too. I know what you're saying..."What? More rules???" I thought the same thing myself. But these rules are easy to learn and will make your life, and the lives of those around you, way more pleasant.
Rule #1 - Always wash your flippers...or hands...before eating.
Rule #2 - Clean up your lily pad (room) every day (and do your homework and chores, too).
Rule #3 - Always say "Please" and "Thank you"(You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar!)
Rule #4 - Bullying is never acceptable. Ever.
Rule #5 - Have respect for yourself; you are a worthwhile frog (or human) just as you are.
Rule #6 - Treat Planet Earth with love, kindness, and gratitude. She is our home, after all.
Rule #7 - Be grateful for all you have; not every frog's as lucky as you.
Rule #8 - Don't be wasteful...of anything; food, material possessions, water, etc. Remember the 3 R's....Reduce, Reuse, Recycle whenever possible.
Rule #9 - Never ever take life for granted; It's the most bee-U-tee-ful gift you'll ever recive.
AND I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST
Rule #10 - Treat every frog the way you want to be treated, no matter how different they may be from you. Courtesy and tolerance don't cost anything and will bring you the greatest rewards. Every frog deserves respect and to be happy in his or her own way.
