In the town everyone whispered and said stories about a silver frog

It was said that if anyone found the frog they would be granted a wish

Other times they would say that they would vanish

Tales were told

A woman with her sick child wanted a cure

But first she had to leave her child with someone

She decided that she would take on the journey for her child

As she went deep in the forest she passed animals of all sorts

Then one day as she was setting up a fire she heard a thud

To her left then it went right behind her

She froze and hoped it or whatever it was that it would spare her

She then turned and couldn't see anything

There wasn't anything there

Then to her right a small woman appeared before her

She asked her if she would play with her

The woman didn't know what to do

Why was there a small woman there out of all places

We're did she come from

Why was she so small

The small woman approached her and held her hand as she ran

The woman followed

She didn't know what to make of it

The small woman brought her in a clearing were a pond that was so clear you could see all the stones inside

The small woman said count to ten then find me

She decided to play along and hope that nothing bad would happen

At ten she quickly started searching but couldn't see were the small woman went

After a few hours a loud RR-RIBB-BITTT-T sound echoed by the pond

The woman ran towards the pond but didn't see anything

As she was losing hope a small ribbit was heard by her right hand

There on the ground was a bottle

She wondered why there was a bottle

Who could have left it there

Then the frog jumped up high before her face

She got scared and fell back

As she picked herself up the frog turned into the small woman

The woman couldn't believe it

How did she do it

The frog then winked at her and told her that that's what she came looking for

The woman couldn't believe it

How did she- the frog then said don't be afraid

I know your intentions are well and your heart is noble

Your just a mother looking for a cure

The woman couldn't believe it

The frog then told her that all she needed was to believe and that which she seeks will transform what is in the bottle into a cure

She was even more surprised

She let out tears that she had kept locked away

The frog then told her to add a drop of her tear because they are true

The woman couldn't thank the small woman enough

The frog didn't ask for anything nor did it want anything from her other than for her to cure her son

The woman left to go back home

And the frog sent the woman joy

When she got to her son she looked at him and couldn't control herself

She cried out of joy and held her son closely

As she held him she asked him to drink from the bottle as he did she hoped and hoped that he would get better

The kid began to have color in his cheeks and was happy

The woman couldn't be even more thankful to the frog

Her and her son had more joy in their lives and lived better days
