You Will Burst if You Don’t Exercise
Belle, Health, Parenting April 14th, 2008Belle kept urging me to exercise. This is out of the norm.
Belle : Mommy, you go on your CD now and exercise. Let me play with your computer.
Me : Later lar. Now is so hot.
Belle: Wait you fat how? Later your stomach burst like the frog. Wait I show you.
She went to look for a book from the bookshelf.
You know the story about The Frog Who Likes To Boast? Never heard before? Well since I EFNTD, let me tell you the story…
A little frog is jumping about happily in a field. A bug bull later comes by to eat the grass in the field. The little frog has never seen such a big animal before. He is very frightened. He quickly hops and goes home.
Soon the little frog reaches the edge of the pond where he lives. He sees his father resting on a lotus leaf. “Father,” says the little frog, “I saw the biggest animal in the world.” The fatherf frog looks at his son and says, “Of course he can’t be bigger than me.”
“It’s not true, Father,” says the little frog. “He is much bigger than you!” The father frog is proud and not so clever. He begins to fill up his stomach with air. “Is the animal bigger than this?” asks the father frog, showing his big round stomach. “Father,” says the little frog, “the animal is much bigger than that!”
Well, you can figure out already on how the story goes. The father frog keep on filling his stomach with so much air that it burst!
So that’s where Belle got the idea that my stomach will burst too coz I have not read the story to her. She just saw the pictures and guessed that the frog tummy grew bigger due to too much eating.
Now, can you imagine how round my stomach is?

That goes to show that Belle likes books (when we were in your house, I could see that she likes books) and she can relate it pretty well too.
I have never heard of that story before. Good, another bedtime story to tell my kids.
Hey, Nyn missed you and your house.
