The Frog and the Chameleon

A male frog was playing near the swamp, being watched by a chameleon. The frog sensed someone is watching him, but cannot clearly see where what he senses stands. From the bent bark of a tree near the swamp, the chameleon with constricted eyes slowly moves close to the frog. The frog saw the chameleon and said, "Why are you watching me?" The chameleon said, "I am fascinated by your glossy green skin." "Thank you," said the frog, "but you are more fascinating because you can change colors -- camouflaging anywhere without being noticed!" "I may be, but I look ugly and nasty to everyone." replied the chameleon. "The frog said, "Everything on earth is fascinating and everybody is beautiful." "What made you say that?" asked the chameleon. "When I was born, I was ugly too. While growing up, many of my kind didn't play with me because of my appearance." "Can we be friends?" the chameleon asked. "Right now, we already are. Just think beautiful about yourself and forever to everybody you will always be!"
