    About this ebook

    The story of a little toad who was motivated by his excitement for adventure, so he left his home at the bottom of a well. His curiosity leads him into many adventures and, always longing for a higher experience, he is finally carried as far up as he ever could be on a stork's mouth.The story imparts the thought that our finest possession is not what we own but what we are.
