One sunny afternoon, Cody was playing near the pond in his backyard. He found a little green frog named Finn hopping around. Cody was so excited to meet Finn that he decided to take him home. Cody's Mom saw him with the frog and smiled. She told Cody to take good care of his new friend.

The New Friend

Cody made a cozy little home for Finn in a big glass jar. He put some water, rocks, and leaves inside. Finn looked around but didn't seem very happy. Cody tried to cheer him up by showing him his toys. But Finn just sat quietly and stared at the jar's glass walls.

Finn's New Home

Cody noticed that Finn wasn't hopping around like he did at the pond. He asked his mom why Finn looked so sad. Cody's Mom explained that Finn might be missing his home at the pond. She told Cody that sometimes, animals need to be in their natural habitat to be happy. Cody started to feel sad too, realizing that Finn missed his pond.

A Sad Frog

The next day, Cody decided to take Finn back to the pond. He gently placed Finn on the grass near the water. Finn looked at Cody and gave a happy croak before hopping into the pond. Cody felt happy knowing he did the right thing. From then on, Cody visited Finn at the pond and they remained best friends.
