The Parasitic Frog Cory B Scott

A young frog, Hendrix, meets his match when he attempts to rob a professor, Marshall, who talks the thug out of robbing him and into taking a quest to find three noble truths. Hendrix accepts the professor's challenge, intrigued by the old frog's courage and insight. But the challenge winds up taking both frogs on a wild, life-changing journey. The three noble truths not only bring hope and life to the thug, but they also remind the old frog of his real purpose. The adventures lead to changes not just for Hendrix and Marshall, but for all the destitute frogs who live in the surrounding stagnate swamps. The thug and professor make an unlikely pair who wind up learning more from each other than either thought possible. A lot of us grew up with many struggles. This short allegorical story is about overcoming personal and life obstacles and finding our passion as we discover or re-engage with our purpose.
