This is Ria. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People. I just cleaned my studio top to bottom.

It's something I do seldomly, as I tend to receive complaints from the spiders who live in the uppermost corners of my studio.

I didn't disturb their webs, left them totally

intact, though it pains me, but I'm still expecting an email in about three seconds. Hmm,

let me see what they have to say. Dear Ria, we have formed a writing committee, so we may give you

professional feedback on your stories. Oh, great. Here are several pieces of advice we developed at

our last meeting. Number one, sometimes you mess up tenses. Your tenses should be consistent.

This is highly professional advice that you should. Okay, skip, skip, skip, skip. Oh, this one's

interesting. Number 17, we advise you to never write a prequel. Prequels are rarely executed well. Since you are not the best writer, you should not attempt it. We repeat, do not write a prequel. Sincerely, the studio spiders. Oh, P.S. We ask that you refrain from further studio

cleaning for the next 90 days. Thank you for the constructive feedback, but you really should have

sent me this advice yesterday, or better yet, last week, especially number 17, because I wrote a prequel.

Relax! I think I did okay.

Our story today stars Frog from Frog and Salamander, but takes place before any of the Frog and Salamander stories.

So we're going back in time.

Let's hear it.

It's called Frog and Turtle, a prequel.

Take it away, Bailey.

Remember, there are no pictures.
