The Pond and the Frogs

I remember in form 2 almost the whole class used to play a game in one whole group that goes like this:

The 1st person says: " One little frog"
2nd person : " Jump to (into) the pond "
3rd person : " Oink"
Next person :" 2 little frogs "
Next person no 2 : " 2 little frogs "
Next person no 3 : " Jump to ( into) the pond "
Next person no 4 : " Jump to ( into ) the pond "
Next person no 5 : " Oink "
Next person no 6 : "Oink"

And it goes on to 3, 4, 5..... frogs followed by the" jump to the pond" and "oink".
I bet this game is gaining popularity in Perak now. No. Whole of Malaysia.

4 frogs jumped into the pond lately.
One of the frog used to be a duck but claimed that it itself was the "ugly duckling" of its own group. Abandoned. Unwanted. Alone.
Poor ugly duckling ( now frog). The rulers of the pond welcomed it to the pond community. Abundance of food and resources.
The ducks were angry and shocked. The whole animal kingdom in fact.
" How could a duck transform into a FROG!!? This is WRONG!!It defies nature!! "

Yes.
The pond.... a very dangerous and mysterious place. It's waters are deep and dark... contains lots of hidden danger. It has a powerful whirlpool that tries to suck more animals in.
Most mysterious and cunning of them all was the RULER. Most of the time.... it's nowhere to be found. But it has plenty of tricks behind its sleeves.
I think they have a group of tadpoles that is readily growing into frogs.
Such manipulaters the pond community are.

Soon the whole earth will be in control of the pond.
The ducks can hardly do anything.
The other animals are angry.
But it seems that we have no chance do we?
