A frog was looking for a pond but none of the farm animals, including a cow, dog, cat, and elephant, knew where to find one. The elephant then told the others that in his country, elephants can sing and make it rain. Despite skepticism from the cow, the elephant sang terribly and caused dark clouds to form, unleashing so much water that a pond was created. The frog was happy to finally have a pond to swim in, but the farm animals were left with headaches for months from the elephant's awful singing.

A FROG WHITOUT A POND
Once upon a time in a farm not too far, there were a cow, a dog, a cat and an
elephant. You will wonder what is an elephant doing in a farm in Spain, but I
can’t answer you. Ask the farmer!
A snail lived in the grass on the prairie and he was very unhappy because this
year has no rained at all.
One day a frog came looking for a pond:
- Excuse me MR. Snail.-said the Frog- Do you know where there is a
pond?
- I don’t know. – Answered the Snail. - But let’s ask the other animals.
Hey, friends! Do you know where there is a pond ?
- I don’t know. – The dog said. – But I know a place where there are lots of
bones. Do you like bones Miss Frog?
- Have you ever seen a frog eating bones Mr. Dog? - Asked the Frog.
- In my country….- Said the Elephant.
- Shut up fatty! – Shouted the Cat.- You aren’t in your country.
- But… in my country…- repeated the Elephant.
At this moment, the Cow yawned and said:
- What a boring conversation!
- You are what are boring! – growled the Cat. – Chewing grass all day!
- I think we could ear Mr. Elephant. – Cut the Snail. - He has lived in other
countries and he could solve the problem.
- Well. – Yawned the Cow. - Tell us about your country.
The elephant said:
- In my country, it’s very hot and there is not rain. When the rivers and the
ponds are dried, the elephants sing a song and immediately the sky became
cloudy and it starts to rain.
- I can’t believe that! - say the Cow.
Then, the Elephant began to sing so, so, so bad that they appeared black
clouds that unloaded so much water that formed a pond in the lower part of
the prairie.
- What a beautiful swimming pool! – Said the Frog diving into the water.
Finally getting a pond it was easy, but all the inhabitants in the farm had a
headache for months. What a horrible singer!
