When I was a kid, my grandpa would let us go down by the pond and catch frogs. We loved them as kids. They hopped around, made funny noises and had really long tongues that would fly out and get their next meal which was usually a fly. It seems, however, that we weren’t the only ones that loved frogs. Frogs are the subjects of books, movies and cartoons. Frogs have never symbolized negativity. They were harmless and fun to watch.
