| 0:00.0 | Welcome to StoryQuest. Today's Storymaster is... |
| 0:06.0 | Amber. And the story title they came up with is... |
| 0:11.0 | The frog who didn't jump. I don't want to be the first frog in orbit! yelled the little frog who was having quite the day. More about that later. Let's meet Flip. |
| 0:21.6 | Flip was, well, different. |
| 0:24.2 | Just like not all people are the same, not all frogs are the same. |
| 0:28.3 | Flip found things more difficult. |
| 0:30.7 | He wasn't very good at swimming. |
| 0:32.3 | He tended to go around in circles, whether he meant to or not. |
| 0:35.3 | He fell over quite a lot, and most crucially, |
| 0:38.0 | Flip couldn't jump. He just sort of, well, flopped. The other frogs thought this was |
| 0:45.2 | hilarious. Flip, you're the only frog that I know who needs a map to get off the ground. |

| 1:38.5 | He wants to be the same as everyone else, he would say. What's the fun in that? I want to be the same as everyone else, |
| 1:46.7 | Flip mooped. Why don't you visit that wizard, Grizzlebeard? You know, the famous sorcerer, |
| 1:53.3 | he's travelling through the forest this month. We could see if he could help. Flip looked hopeful. |
| 1:59.3 | It was worth a shot, and excitedly the pair ran to track down the wizard's camp. |
