Otis Helps a Friend



Dear Diary,

Today was very froggy. It all started when Mom went to the store to by frogs.

“I’ll be back from the store in 15 minutes sweetheart!”



“Okay.”

Once my Mom got to the frog mart she chased a dozen frogs screaming DON’T EAT ME DON’T EAT ME! Once she caught them and bought then she brought them home for dinner.

The frogs were so yummy! We ate eleven of them in an instant and right when we were going to bite into the twelfth we noticed the frog was crying.

“What’s wrong little frog?” I asked.

“I have a disease called Frog Chytrid Fungus, and I’m worried you’ll get it too.”



“Don’t worry we wont eat you, we will take care of you until you are better.”

“Thank you! Thank you!” Pleaded the frog.

" I’m Otis the Otter, what is your name?”

“I’m Freddy the frog.” he replied.

Later we found medicine. When I brought It to Freddy he was sitting on a lily pad, coughing like crazy! He quickly stopped and told me to be quiet; we both listened and heard, “ Imma Bee Imma Bee Imma Imma Imma Bee." It was a bumble bee getting nectar on a flower called Codium Indicum.

All of a sudden a tongue came out of Freddy’s mouth and caught the singing bee.

“YUM!” Freddy said as the bee crunched in his mouth.

The medicine we gave Freddy wasn’t working but somehow he was getting better. I didn’t want to believe it but I think the bee was magical… who knows. All that matters is that Freddy is no longer sick!



From,

Otis the Otter
