Synopsis[]
"A group of frogs catch Pinky's super leaping abilities and ask her to stay with them."
Summary[]
Pinky, Tyler, and Mr. Guinea Pig are at the park. Pinky admires how great the air is and tells everyone to take a deep breath, which causes a frog noise. This frog noise is evidently from an actual frog, but Tyler wants to take the frog home. This gives Pinky a story idea about frogs. So Pinky, Tyler, Mr. Guinea Pig, and the frog travel to the Story Box.
The story takes place in the park as well, but Pinky is with her friends Nicholas and Daffinee. Daffinee suggests that they should pose like supermodels, but Pinky says because they are outside they should be active and jump around, which makes Nicholas suggest that they play leapfrog. Pinky however, is feeling "froggy" today, and she for some reason jumps higher, and higher, and so high in the air that she can see her house. She amazes a large frog who comes by, and his name is Basko de Froggo. Basko takes Pinky to his habitat.
There, she meets his other frog friends, Ned and Moonfroggy. They teach Pinky how to hop from lily pad to lily pad, and she even does a handstand and a flip in the air. Pinky has so much fun that she even does a happy frog dance. Although, she starts to think about going back home, but they all want her to stay in their habitat, but Pinky tells them that she needs a place to sit and read, and play. The frogs say that Pinky could be their pet, and they build a habitat just for Pinky inside an aquarium. She has her own trampoline, but bouncing on it makes her hungry. They tell Pinky to guess her snack, and tell her that it does fly. After a few things she guesses, they reveal that they are literal flies that frogs eat. Pinky regretfully explains that she likes the frogs, but she has a way better home and has to go, causing all the frogs to cry because they don't want her to leave.
Pinky gets a big idea to find a way to see each other again, and so she gives the frogs her trampoline, that way they can jump so high that they can see Pinky at her home and they can wave to her, and that plan works perfectly when she gets back to her home in the Really Red Apartments. Tyler thinks that he should just keep the frog at his habitat at the pond.
