Abstract

Beginning
A frog peeps through a hole in his coconut shell. He saw something fascinatingly beautiful on the outside world (glimpses of voluptuous women), and his curiosity starts to creep in. He hops hesitantly at first, but he just could not resist the temptation to see more of the beauty outside of his coconut shell. The women leads his view to a scenic park across the road. His excitement begins to build. He imagines lots of nice stuff over at the park and feels that he must get to the park. He doesn't jump out from the coconut shell though but instead hops from under it, causing his head to bang onto the roof of the shell and the hole on it to shift location as he does so, while he, completely dumbfounded, trying to maintain visual contact with what he saw just now.

Body
As he hops and hops , the frog suddenly slips and falls into a huge dumpster. He frantically tries to get out of the dumpster but try as he may, he finally give up to fatiqueness. His depression does not last though, for he finds all sorts of never seen before stuff around him in the dumpster. Rotten leftover food, crumpled receipts, broken household appliances, plastic and styrofoam container, used condoms etc., all of which are alien to the frog (all this while he used to live under a coconut shell after all). He gleefully plays with his new 'toys', fitting the condom over his head thinking how his friends are all stupid for they are still living under coconut shells while he has advances and finds so many new discovery in his dumpster.

Day in day out, new things such as plastic bags, banana skin, smelly old socks, a long sleeved shirt smeared with lipstick marks, aerosol cans, a diskette with "PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL" written on it, brochures and flyers are thrown into the dumpster to the delight of the frog. As more and more things enter the dumpster, the frog joyously jumps about while at the same time playfully evading the falling objects. There is one time however, due to oblivious elation, the frog fails to dodge a falling cigarette box which plunges right onto his head. Soon after, the frog becomes worried as more heavy and hard items such as beer cans, a broken pirated VCD, a baby, and some liquor bottles enter his dumpster. But what really chill his spine is when a smoking gun is thrown into his dumpster (sound of gunshot, a horrifying shriek, and fast running footstep can be heard beforehand).

Suddenly a cigarette, still alight, enters the dumpster. The already paled face of the frog looks on in horror as the smoke from the cigarette swishes following the sommersault of the cigarette as it plummets. The light from the cigarette catches some papers and other combustible substance on its way to the base of the dumpster. The spilled liquour only spread the fire even further.

The frogs climbs and hops over the pile of garbage and his adrenaline level must have catapult that somehow he manages to escape from the burning dumpster.

Ending/Conclusion

As he gasp for air, he looks around, still agitated from his horrifying experience just now. He suddenly sees the park across the road and immediately remembers his initial intention. He then makes his way towards the park when suddenly a car drives across in front of him. He looks up and sees a lot vehicles moving about on both sides of the road. The frog is left thinking to himself how it would take lots of effort to fulfill a simple ambition.
