Krabit Travels to the Big City

Krabit, a frog with a wonderful voice, is not content with his fellow swamp dwellers admiration and sets off to make himself a name in the big city. He knows it’ll be a tiring and dangerous journey, but he feels very confident and off he goes.

Krabit’s wide golden eyes explore the new world he meets with amazement. He passes through a number of places until, finally, he ends up in a beautiful swimming pool. But as night falls, he feels sad-there is no one around to sing with. So Krabit realizes that life in the big city isn`t all he had hoped for and he goes back home to his swamp. But he isn`t sad about not living out his dream, because his experiences have taught him that the swamp he was born in is the only place he can truly be happy.
