The Hellands in Holland

The frog lived inside of the deep dark water pit on his lily pad, glad to be in a familiar place. It was cold, dark, and wet, but still it was well known. Every day he would go through the same motio ns: morning news, business meetings, the latest gossip, social media posts, fast-food, evening sitcoms, and the latest movies on his ribbitflix account. It was not an exciting or adventurous life, but it was familiar. Every day he did the same things he did the previous day and would do for the rest of his life.   One day a bumble bee came by to tell him about the beautiful spring flowers that were growing and the taste of the delicious nectar and the honey cookies that the bees were cooking up. “You got to come out of your routine froggy, the spring is absolutely beautiful. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. The colors are beautiful. In fact, in an hour the garden spring festival is going to begin with the centipedes marching band and the grasshoppers amazing jumping show.
