A Little Nepali Frog

A little frog swimming around in a muddy pool. A pool filled by fresh mountain water from a concrete pipe. The water falls through the air, landing softly below. Below the water is no longer clear but brown. The pool has been enjoyed by local roaming buffaloes, as large pile of pooh sit on the shallow concrete bottom. The little frog pushes herself around, suspended between the surface air and the liquid water. Pusssssssssssssssssssh. Paddle. Pusssssssssssssssssssssh. Paddle she goes. The little frog seems so content; investigating floating sticks, and sneaking up to idle skating flies. She is busy exploring her watery world. Perhaps she doesn't mind its dirt. Perhaps she enjoys the invaders, she certainly does not care much for her audience. But she is small; only beginning her amphibious life, where at the moment this small pool of water is her whole world.
