The Frogs of the Well
Once upon a time, during an unusually hot summer with no rain, ponds and lakes began to dry up. The fish in the lakes struggled helplessly and many began to die.

However, the fish was strong and flapped vigorously, freeing itself from the heron’s beak and falling downward.

The Lost Penguin
The first time I saw the penguin, it wasn’t in a zoo or on a nature show. It was on my feed—just one lone bird, walking away from the colony, slow and deliberate, as if it had decided the world outside its group was where it belonged. And for some reason, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
