Uhm…they, it is a boy and a dog, who has found a frog…uhm…that they are looking at… | and then…and then they take the frog home again…even if it had a family…and a lot of siblings and a mother and farther. And I think, that was where it preferred to be. So it did not end quite happily. That was it, I think” |
