Chuck was not an ordinary frog.He did love eating flies, but he didn't like catching flies himself.He didn't like snapping them from the air while they were flying around.Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy.Others thought he was strange.

That didn't matter to Chuck.Each morning, Chuck hid himself under the spider web between the cattails.Then when Lady Eightlegs went off, Chuck took flies from her web.

One morning while Chuck was enjoying the flies, Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.She cried, “Go and catch your own”.Chuck jumped back into the pond.

Do you know any 9-year-olds who have started their own museums?
