Tilly the Tiny Tadpole

Once upon a time, in a sparkling pond, lived a tiny tadpole named Tilly. Tilly was curious and loved to explore! She swam around, wiggling her little tail, and made friends with the fish and frogs. “One day, I’ll be a frog!” she dreamed.

As the sun shone bright, Tilly noticed her tail getting shorter and legs starting to sprout. “Hooray!” she cheered. Tilly was growing up! Soon, she would leap from lily pad to lily pad.

Remember, little ones, just like Tilly, we all grow and change in wonderful ways. Keep dreaming big!
