one day i was teaching this mentally challenged
CITY kid to fish
in a farm pond that unfortunately had NO fish in it at all
but there was ONE huge bull frog sitting there on a rock
so i said ....lets see if he is HUNGRY...
and i tossed him a worm right in front of him.........
and the frog gobbles it up pronto
then i let him try and he misses so i dangled the worm
on top of his face and he eats it....one after another
until all the worms were gone.
the KID was estactic but very afraid still of the frog
so i picked it up and held his back legs gently
and said ... go ahead and touch him
he did so ever so carefully having never met a frog before
and then he said... quite curiously
does it bite?
i said NOPE! totally chuckling
and we proceeded to let him go...
so i placed him back upon his rock
where he sat for a moment
then he took a huge leap
into the water to the kids delight.
