prompt:The best part about growing up in the bayou was the endless amounts of entertainment. The smooth winding waterways were perfect for fishing and the dense forests where I would play pretend. Oh, the wacky scenarios I could make up! But the real fun part was when my cousins came to visit. My poor old grandfather was always put in charge of watching us rambunctious kits. One day, to try and keep us out of trouble he came up with the idea of sending us frog catching. The old coot thought he was so clever. He gathered us around and said “Whoever can catch the most frogs wins a king sized candy bar” and that’s when chaos ensued! We ran to the river bank as fast our little legs could carry us. Kits splashing into the shallow water left and right. Looking back on it that wasn’t very smart, we probably scared all the frogs away with our splashes! To a little guy like me the whole thing felt like a war zone. Everyone was soaking wet within minutes. We quickly realized it wasn’t as easy as we originally anticipated. The murky water and a frog's natural swimming ability made things very difficult. After a while of fruitless searching we began to lose hope. The only thing that kept us going was the sweet taste of chocolate we craved. Everyone was muddy, tired, and ready to give up but that’s when I spotted it. It was my chance, the hail mary shot. I ran through the murky water after the slippery little thing. It was the chase of all chases. I was finally close enough, there was no time to think,I leapt forward and clenched my teeth. To my surprise I felt something slimy squish between my paws. Rising to my feet, there he was, a real beauty. “I found one, I found one!” I squealed in excitement. The other kits gathered around and gazed in awe at the bulbus creature. “Its.. less cute than I expected” said one of the girls. At this point the ruckus had awoken my grandfather from his nap. He hobbled over to my side and gave the frog a good once over. “So, this is the only one y’all caught?” Everyone else nodded, a little disappointed with their frog hunting abilities. “Well, I guess it’s your lucky day, Laine” Later that evening my parents were furious with the condition my fur was in, but none of that mattered. I had my off-brand candy bar and I was happy.
This is kind of embarrassing to post, but I'm out of time to fix it
