Frogs of the Middle Renaissance: A Journey of Self-Worth and Love

Kutti was born in a puddle.

She was only a few centimeters tall when her mother, who was also born in a puddle, saw her for the first time. She jumped out of the water and caught a fly. Kutti hopped around in excitement. After all, this was the first time she would taste food!

The fly landed on Kutti’s head and gave her an electric shock that caused her to black out. When she woke up, she realized that she had grown a little. Her mother cuddled and licked her back to health. But Kutti could tell that something was wrong. Her mother didn’t seem herself, and they hadn’t seen another frog like them in days.

After Kutti recovered, they fled from the puddle where they had lived their entire lives and went east towards the ocean. The trip took many days, but eventually they found an oasis with plenty of insects, fish, birds and small rodents for food, as well as other frog families to socialize with. They settled down and soon had their first froglings together: Kutti had five brothers and her mother had six daughters. All of them were happy except for Kutti’s eldest brother who was a bully and always picked on his younger siblings for being weaker than him despite being the youngest in his family. He especially liked to pick on Kutti because he hated females since he grew up without sisters or mothers of any kind, so he relished taunting her whenever he got the chance. He would chase her around or force her into eating live insects like their mother did to discipline them when they did something bad, causing Kutti to be sick all day even though she tried not to vomit while running away from him. His favorite trick though was putting bugs into her bedding so that she would unknowingly roll around in them whenever she went to sleep at night; once this happened when she went swimming at night just as one of her brothers was doing and he laughed at how funny it looked until their father told him off and explained why it wasn’t good behavior to do that to someone you love – but he still did it whenever he felt like it anyway because he never learned his lesson from the first time he did it and got scolded for it then either.

Kutti’s life continued like this for twenty years until she discovered an old tree stump near their home which had been untouched by anyone since she first roamed around there as a toddler: no one dared trespass onto that dangerous piece of land because it was surrounded by poisonous fire ants from every direction. She ventured into the darkness alone one day after her brothers had mocked her again for being weak and not able to eat anything bigger than a mosquito (she actually could eat bigger things than that if given the chance but she didn’t have the confidence to show off what she could do).

When she crawled into the middle of the stump, there was a light shining down upon her from above! She looked up with surprise and saw that there were holes leading upwards into a world full of light and butterflies! She wanted to go up there more than anything else in the world so she started climbing with determination – ignoring all danger signs such as seeing several dead birds lying on the ground with pieces missing out of them or hearing screams coming from above whenever there was lightning nearby – until finally, after hours of climbing upwards with all four feet grasping onto roots or rocks sticking out of the walls, she reached the surface at long last!

Kutti couldn’t believe what she saw! There were trees taller than anything else in their swampy home, flowers surrounding everything like great green carpets covering everything from floor to ceiling, rivers going through forests filled with animals dancing about along its banks like living jewels braided together by nature itself… It was too much beauty for one little frog like herself to take in all at once! But before she knew what happened, there was a flash of blinding white light from behind her which turned off all of her senses at once; when they came back on again five seconds later (or so it seemed), she found herself still standing here with only one difference: instead of having four feet touching solid ground covered by mossy dirt floors made up of leaves or mud, now two feet were gripping onto grass while two other feet were dangling off a giant leaf suspended three feet above ground! She couldn't believe what happened: before today, everyone knew that frogs never changed forms unless they died; one day you would be born like your mother or father used to be before they became parents themselves, then you'd grow older like that until you died after becoming old yourself - but now here's proof that people can change themselves into something new if they try hard enough! She decided right then and there that this revelation would change everything…
