Playful Proverbs: Look before you Leap! - Think before you act


Look Before You Leap 🐸✨

Welcome back to By Kids For Kids Story Time! 🎧✨ This is part of our Playful Proverbs series, where we tell fun and silly tales based on famous sayings. In today’s story, we explore the meaning behind the saying, "Look before you leap." What does that mean, you ask? Well, let’s leap right into this ribbiting tale! 🐸💦

A Hasty Frog’s Hungry Adventure 🍃🐛

Once upon a time, a frog living in a peaceful fishpond was feeling very hungry. Usually, he dined on mosquitoes, but today, he wanted something different. 🦟❌


Our frog friend spotted a crunchy dragonfly fluttering nearby and quickly shot out his tongue to catch it. Missed! 😔 The same thing happened when he tried to catch a centipede! The frog grew impatient, and his little tummy grumbled louder. 🍽️😖

In his haste, the frog jumped towards something moving in the reeds, but oh no! He hadn’t looked carefully and didn’t notice the danger lurking there. 🦩 A stork with sharp, beady eyes swooped down and grabbed the frog in its beak! The poor frog was in trouble, but he managed to wriggle and shake free, and the stork spat him out!


After this close call, the frog dived deep into the pond, realizing that rushing without thinking wasn’t such a good idea. He learned a valuable lesson that day: Look before you leap! 🌊🐸


Important Lessons from the Frog 📝🌟

This fun story teaches us a big lesson about being careful and thinking things through before we act! Here’s what we learned from our froggy friend:


What Did We Learn? 🐸🎓

  • Think before you act 💭: The frog jumped without checking for danger first. Always make sure it's safe before you leap into something new!

  • Patience is important ⏳: Sometimes, it’s better to wait a little longer and be cautious than rush into something.

  • There’s always a solution ✨: Even when the frog got caught, he didn’t give up! He wriggled and jiggled until he was free! 🦸‍♂️
