GroundFrog Day begins, will the amphibian see is shadow?

The Raccoons instructed the frog to find the valley where slugs roam freely in herds like the great Bison on the plains. The possum told the frog to seek a place where two rivers meet and a warm dark lake full of stocked fish nearby. They too warned the frog about crossing migrations trails at night. The Raven told the frog to look for a place in the valley rich in compost and pumpkins that had a unique and distinct small of agriculture. Still more months passed and more creatures provided guidance. (I know, Frogs get easily distracted but bugs.)
The mystical Weedle on the Needle instructed the frog to seek a place where beavers had carved a great archway into a Cedar tree and look for the critters of the region to caper on through. The grizzly bear encouraged the frog to seek land close to his brethren Silvertips. Wild Rabbit in the nearby brier patches told the frog to hop through the forest, gather up the field mice, and smash them on the head. The lonely half-humped moose finally was able to lead the frog to the site that best matched all of the previous descriptions. The moose took the frog to oracle with the wise old spotted owl. It was there, the owl, the great keeper of the forest ended the frog’s quest into amphibian to nirvana. The owl told the frog to make home on the shores of the river known as “Snow home ish” which translated from the native dialect meant Great waters for micro brewing.”
After the long and life expanding journey the frog hoped to the shore of this great river, passed through the great cedar archway. The local endowed the frog with the greeting of” Kla Ha Ya” which meant “welcome to the antique capital of the pacific northwest. This date was set into providence that each year, the locals celebrate the frog’s great journey with the through Ground frog day. This day begins the long preparation for the great celebration in which the local yokels reach out to others seeking nirvana and greet them with the Kla Ha ya tradition.
