Rat returns from a long journey. He has brought a present for Frog. It looks just like an onion… "Can I eat it?" asks Frog. "No," says Rat, "it's a bulb. If you put it in the ground now, you'll get a surprise in the spring." Frog thinks he's been waiting a long time. But then finally, a small green dot appears above the ground… The dot grows bigger and starts to sprout leaves. One beautiful spring day, Frog's friends come to see the surprise. Rat claps his hands. "It's become a beautiful tulip!" Frog sighs with satisfaction. "Beautiful, isn't it! I took good care of it." Experience autumn, winter, and spring with Frog and discover what the surprise is.
