What is Tadpole's Promise about?
In a serene pond, a tadpole and a caterpillar fall deeply in love. The caterpillar makes the tadpole promise never to change. However, as time passes, the tadpole grows legs and arms, breaking his vow. Heartbroken, the caterpillar retreats into a cocoon. Emerging as a butterfly, she seeks her beloved, only to be tragically consumed by a frog—unaware that he has just eaten his cherished rainbow friend.
