Frogs are real important to me. I love the sound of their songs at night. The frog population is disappearing around the world. It is a sign of the diminishing wetlands and pollution of our habitat. I have made two ponds to raise frogs. I hope to start another one later this year. My sister had a Chinese boyfriend who was once a member of the Red Guard. When he was little, his grandfather made him swallow a live frog to put the spirit of the frog in him. I can see why the youth of China thought Mao had a better way.
