A tadpole and fish are friends in the pond. As tadpole begins to change into a frog, the two argue over how it is true and frog states "Frogs are frogs. Fish is fish."
Frog leaves the pond but returns to describe the amazing things he has seen on land. Fish wants to see whether the grass is truly greener, but realizes life on land is a bad idea. Frog rescues him and fish realizes the pond is the most beautiful of worlds.
A good example of a fable, literary science connection for life cycles of frogs, lesson on habitats/adaptations of amphibians and fish. I also like the visualization or art lesson in here. As Frog describes creatures to Fish, Fish builds a picture in his mind. Having students sketch what they are seeing in the minds is always a fun activity with highly description text.
