Jornal #1: Native American Tale (How the frog got his tongue)

There once was a little frog who loved to eat flies.  His tongue was normal sized and he could not strech his tongue to surprise them.  He would set a little trap made of leaves to catch them, and it was very complex and tough to make.  He eventually caught a whole family of flies, and was content for a long while! However, the flies grew mad at this little frog who ate their family members.  One day, the flies came up with a plan to outsmart the frog.  They decided that one of their family members would give their life to save the rest of them.  Therefore, a sacrifice was needed and it took many days and nights to decide.  They finally picked an old fly to do the job.  His name was Flies Softly.  Flies Softly did not want to die though! He was the oldest, so it made sense, but he still had many things in life that he wanted to do!  So, he thought of a plan to outsmart the frog and the flies!  He said that they should make a fly army, and attack the frog!  The frog heard of this plan and knew that his leaf contraption would not hold off an army!  So he frantically looked around his pond for something to help him out.  He came across a small village on the North side of his pond.  It was full of new settlers and they were all chewing something pink in their mouth.  There was an old villager who spit his out because the taste was gone.  The frog saw this and picked it up in his mouth and started to chew.  However, he started to choke and it got stuck on his tongue!  He kept flinging his tongue around, but the gum stayed on!  This was when the flies started to come, so he flailed his tongue at the army and it stuck to his new longer tongue!  This made him catch all the flies and kept him full for many days.  He decided to tell all of his friends about his new longer and stickier tongue, and they picked it up too!  That is how the frog got his long tongue!
