The Vegetarian Frog
Once upon a time, there was a little frog. Her name was Petra and she lived in a swamp full of frogs.
Poor Petra was very sad because she was not able to jump. She didn’t care much about the ability, what made her sad was that her brothers and sisters made fun of her, that her father looked at her angrily and that her mother was very, very worried.
So Petra tried to make her first jump all day long. Jumping appeared to be a very important ability and it was more important that she did it.
One day her mother told her they were going to a doctor in the swamp. Petra climbed on her mother's back and they travelled to the doctor's office. He asked Petra's mom what the problem was and she said;

When Petra's mother saw that her little girl was surrounded by a group of monkeys she became frightened and ran to protect her. But as she approached, she realized that they were quietly talking with her and eating leaves.
— What are you doing? — Petra's mom asked.
— Eating a salad—, Petra fearfully said a little worried that her mom would scold her for not eating flies.
— How do they taste? — Her mom curiously asked.
— Try one—, one of the monkeys said. Your daughter prepares the best salads in the region.
Petra's mom tried the salad and she loved it. So she invited her friends to eat too, and they were happy with the new kind of food. Of course, they kept eating flies, but they now had something different so they would not get bored with the same food as always.
One day Petra's mom came up with an idea: That Petra opened a restaurant in the swamp. At first, her dad did not agree.
— Frogs have always eaten flies and will always eat flies. What is it about eating pebbles?
But after much insistence the mother got the dad to try one of the salads and he loved it. So he finally agreed that Petra opened that restaurant that his wife
