"Depicted is a scene from nature in a partly realistic and partly stylistic manner..."
"[The frog, mosquito, and reeds] all form a circle-like line."
"A Heron once ruled a small swamp, and he raised his family there. He taught his kids to eat everything: [including frogs]...[O]ne day a baby Heron of his became lonely and befriended a little lonely ugly baby frog...[the account explains how they grew up as friends and survived a drought by working together]. This is why Herons do not eat certain species of frogs."
