Abstract
This version specifies two things in its telling of the standard FK fable. First, the urge to ask comes twice from their boredom. Secondly, what they ask for is not, as usually, a king but rather a "guardian." That is a curious transformation! I enjoy the images of four frogs praying twice in the story. The stated moral is "Be satisfied with what you have." The moral page has a standard framework throughout this Series #2: a kitten painting a picture expresses the moral beneath a framed title of the fable. There are problems with the English of this fable, e.g., "swanp" for "swamp" and in the singular of frog in the title, when the story is clearly about a group of frogs. The front-cover on both sides has symbols for Green Life publishing, Green Ocean paper, and yessoy ink. The publisher's symbol seems to be two purple heads reading an open red book; it is repeated three times. There is a page of vocabulary on the inside back cover, with a picture of all six books in the series on the back cover. The pamphlet is twelve pages long, about 7½" x 6¾".
