1 " You’re wrong! I’m NOT a frog because I can’t eat flies; but, I’m able to eat these bugs. Can I be a raccoon like you guys?”“Silly frog, you can’t be a raccoon! Mamma eats frogs, and she’ll be back soon. "

2 " I really am sorry,” Tad explains. “I just want to belong. A frog who can’t eat flies—it just feels so wrong.”“Being different can be hard, but, you’ll figure it out somehow. Someday, you may find it’s a gift,even if you don’t think so right now.”“How would you know?” Tad’s eyes fill with tears.“Because, I’m allergic to honey—have been for years! Since I couldn’t make honey like other bees do, I trained as a Medic, and now I get to help you! "
3 " Mom! Dad! I’m sorry I scared you guys. I guess to be a frog, I don’t have to eat flies.”His parents hug him with all of their might.“That’s correct, Taddy Bear. We’re so glad you’re all right! It’s not what you eat, but what’s here, inside, that defines who you are and fills us with pride! "
