Kvak is very happy that he was born as a green frog. He is proud that he swims and jumps better than anyone else. Kvak is sure that he has been very lucky in life. But one day he comes to the realization of his own imperfection: he cannot fly like Duck; he cannot bake pies like Piglet; he cannot tinker like Rat; he cannot read like Hare. "I am just a worthless, stupid frog," he grieves. Fortunately, his friends manage to convince Kvak that they love him exactly as he is.
