The Frog and the Ox: A Summary

"I have seen such a big monster! It was as big as mountain. There were horns on its head, and it had a long tail, and hooves divided in two, on each of its four legs."

"Tush,* child, tush, that is only Farmer White's ox. it isn't big at all. He may be a little taller than I. I could easily make myself quite as broad, "

the father frog replied.

So he blew himself out, and blew himself out again.

"Was he as big as this?" he asked his child.

The young child said,

"He is bigger than that. "

Then the old frog blew himself out and blew himself out.

The young child said,

"Bigger, bigger!"

and the frog breathed in,  blew and blew, swelled and swelled.

 The young frog said

"I am sure the ox is not as big as--"

Before the final word could be completed, the old frog burst.

Self conceit may lead you to self destruction.

Notes

This is a great piece of writing, showing you have a lot of creativity and confidence with storytelling in English. Some things to remember:

When we tell a story in English, we usually begin with 'once', or 'one day': 'once there was', 'once upon a time' (if it's a fairytale/myth). This is to show that the story took place some time in the past but it is not important when.

When characters speak in a story, you have to make a new line and use quotation marks: " "

Remember to keep the tenses the same in the same sentence.

*"Tush!" is correct English but a very out-of-date word. To be more up-to-date you could say "Nonsense!" or "Don't be silly!"
