Freckles' Best Ribbit

Freckles' anxiously awaited the yearly Spring Chorus auditions, a grand event where frogs from all over the forest showcased their unique ribbits.

But Freckles faced a major obstacle. Freckles could not ribbit like the other frogs.

But no matter how hard he tried, Freckles either SNEEZED or HICCUPPED and sounded even worse! Even with the support of his well-meaning friends, Freckles' ribbits only grew sillier, making him feel even more embarrassed.

It's not until Freckles unexpectedly blurts out a sound, unlike the other frogs, that his friends encourage him to feel confident enough to sing with the others.
