3. She stood tall on a stone, but the ox still rose far above her.
4. The frog studied her reflection and decided that ordinary size was not enough.
5. The frog filled her throat with air and puffed herself larger.
6. She called, “Am I as big as the ox?” and held her breath.
7. The ox shook his head, so the frog puffed herself even bigger.
8. Her sides trembled, her eyes widened, and her breath grew hard to hold.
9. The frog let the air out and became her own small size again.
10. She hopped across three lily pads, while the great ox could not follow.
11. The frog caught a firefly and shared its soft light with the ox.
12. The frog smiled beside the ox, because being frog-sized was already enough.
