excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to
colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer
with us”. To my great

Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

to struggle for survival.
, when we overcome others' criticism or
comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just as the second frog did.
