The Flying Frog Tool (1)

There was a pond where a frog lived hapily. Its name was BULL. Bull lived like any normal frog would, waking up in the morning looking for flies to fill his stomach and then go back to sleep. His routine repeats everday, until one day.. Bull declared that his current life was boring.. perhaps there were something out there, an adventure lies before him. After a long thought, he packed his little leafy bag of water on his back and a venus fly trap with a few flies in it placed on his waist. He leaped out of his little pond not knowing where he would be heading.

So Bull travel out heading where the sun was that morning. As he travelled he met new friends, and new adventures everyday. Though the journey was tough for a little frog but he was optimistic because what he experiencing was amazing. To solve his supplies, he replenished his water from rains and drains, feed as he travel.

But an adventure soon become terror. As Bull was so focus gazing on the field of colourful trees, he accidentally fell into a well. He was not injured only, the height was not reachable for him. At first, Bull tried to leap and stick to the side of the well, but it was too slippery. After many attempts , he quitted and planned for a new method to escape from the well.

Weeks, had past. Bull's luck failed him. His sanity had left him only with a glimpse of his past. Day by day, Bull can only lok upon the sky. Sometimes, he can see birds flew over the well. But that is something that he can't do.. But at least along his crazy attempt, he did found a method to feed. He just have to leap and hold on to a crack on the wall and wait for mosquitoes.

One fine day, a fly came by. Bull await the moment for the little fly to come closer.. then in an instant he stick his sticky tongue out and caught the fly. "My lucky day!", he thought. Then from nowhere, he heard a different chinese accent and voice talking to him. "Let me go and I promise I will do anything that you wish."

Bull stood for a moment...
"This is just a flick of my imagination", says Bull with the fly in his mouth.

"No, i am quite real. Let me go and all your wildest imagination can be true"

But Bull was still unsure. He stood still for a moment again. Then the voice return to his ears.

"I never break a promise. I will fulfill your dreams."

Dreams? Bull had forgoten about it. "Okay, cut it out! Show yourself!" Bull demanded.

"How can i show myself when i'm in your mouth?" replied the voice.

Bull, feeling much better now, hesistated, but released the fly after it repeatedly begging for it and making fussy noises.

"Look, the only reason i let you go is because i don't like noisy food... You don't know what it's like to have a stomach that acts like a subwoofer! So beat it!" Bull submerge into the well but was stopped by the fly.

"Hey, don't look down on flies. We can do wonders!" fly retorts!
"Like what?" Bull raised his voice. "Do you see anything that you can or might help here? I am a frog that once had a dream to leave a pond, now had his dream amended to leave this forsaken well! And Your ARE ONE TINY FLY!!" and Bull sank deep.

Fly kept quite as it looked at Bull diving into the well. Fly sensed Bull's tears flowing out, as if Bull's tears was the main contribution to the well's reservoir. Fly flew away... Bull, continue his routine as a sad FROG. Alone with a shattered dream. But, it was only 2 weeks later the fly returned to the well with a surprise!!

"As promised, I have returned. Hey frog, you wish to get out from this well, right? Hence, as a token for not eating me, i present you my latest invention! A tool that will have your name carved into the halls of Fame... on your... frog Hall of Fame or whatever your species call it. THE FLYING FROG TOOL!!" Fly raised its wings and arms high proudly as it speaks.

"Okay, so you have return. You have kept your promise. Now, stop disturbing to me and... and...Just leave me be",Bull said a with despair tone.

"At least try out my invention. It won't harm you to try...",pestered fly.

"Fine! Where is it?"

Upon that, fly blew a loud whistle. Then, there were noises and voices at the top of the well that echoes all the way down the well. The suddenly two large object resembling wings of birds was lowered down by spiders and stopped before the surface of the water. The wings was 12 inches long and very light. It was made of thin rattan and silk from silk worms. There was a handle where frog can slip in his hands.

"Slip this into your hand and start flapping!", says the fly.

Neophobia, but Bull did as told. He put his hand in and he began to flap his 'wings'. He failed to lift at first but after a few shots, he got a hang of it... He began to lift himself up... In split seconds, Bull's recovered from his despair. He felt life had returned to his miserable life. His smile was so awesome that it can blind fly for seconds!

As he 'flap' pass the mouth of the well, Bull saw a community of insects and bugs. All were cheering for the Great Escape. Bull, tears of joy was felt.. it went in deep, not just Bull, but everyone...

After the long 'Hi', 'Thanks' and 'Bye', finally, Bull and Fly were alone...

"Thanks... i never thought that this moment can be real forever. I know i will be lost forever in the well, if you didn't came to rescue...", Bull awkwardly express his gratitude to fly.

"Well, you can thank me properly. What is your name?" ask fly.

"Bull, as in Bullfrog James, ... just Bull will do", replied Bull.

"Well, Bull nice to meet you. My name is Shirnie. Shirnie GreenBottle", answered Shirnie the fly.

Bull went silent, shocked and replied "Shirnie? You're a girl!? Well, quite hard to differentiate especially your size."

With a dull face Shirnie replied "Thanks for the compliment and i was expecting a thank you, Bull. So where are you heading now?"

"I now go where the wind blows. These pair of wings that you gave me will bring me further. Hey, why don't we go there together. I promise i wont eat you or your relatives.. i'll be a mosquitarian.." requested Bull.
