What is Frog is Sad about?

Frog feels sad, but he does not know why. Nothing bad has happened, and none of his friends has upset him, yet he cannot find his smile. Duck, Hare, Rat and Pig each try to help, until one friend does something that makes Frog laugh. Suddenly, his sadness lifts. Frog still cannot explain where his gloomy feeling came from, but he learns that feelings can change and that good friends are there to help when you need them.
