The Wheel

Once upon a time on a lily pond not so very far away a little frog was trying his hardest to get through life.

When he was a much younger frog (little more than a tadpole) life had been lots of fun – hopping around the lily pads, swimming and playing with the other frogs. Lately, though, life was getting harder and harder – it was his job to look after the pond, making sure that everyone else had enough insects to eat, and that all the little froglets were safe and happy.

Sometimes he was so exhausted by the end of the day that he would lie on his lily pad staring at the starry sky wondering if he could ever find an easier way to run his life. He was tired of always struggling to keep his head above the choppy water and wished with all his heart that he could learn to flow with the tide and enjoy the journey again.

One evening his old friend the owl flew down from his weeping willow tree and let our froggy friend into a very great secret.

Once our frog had learned how to master this secret he was able to navigate life’s waters much more easily and with a lot less stress and anxiety.
