Description

Nestled beside the swamp lies a bustling factory that recklessly pours its chemical waste into the once-vibrant habitat. The toxic surge floods the swamp, claiming the lives of its inhabitants, including the cheeky frog named Kiwi. Little did Kiwi know that his story was far from over.

On the night of Halloween, when shadows loom large and the air crackles with supernatural energy, a witch named Sirena stumbles upon the desolate swamp. Moved by the tragic fate of the lost frogs, Sirena decides to use her mystical powers to resurrect one of them. With her ancient rites and whispered incantations, Sirena breathes new life into Kiwi.

But there’s a twist in this magical resurrection — Kiwi awakens not as his lively, amphibian self, but as a zombie frog! Now under the control of the witch Sirena, Kiwi becomes her loyal servant, set on fulfilling her sinister tasks to frighten the local townspeople.

As Halloween night unfolds, Kiwi embarks on a series of hair-raising adventures, executing Sirena’s commands with a mixture of reluctance and mischief. From eerie moonlit pranks to ghostly encounters, Kiwi’s presence strikes fear into the hearts of unsuspecting villagers. However, beneath his decaying exterior beats a kind and compassionate heart yearning for freedom.

Chapter 1 — The Daring Frog Kiwi

In a swamp so far away,

Lived a frog named Kiwi, bold and gay.

Brave and adventurous, he would roam,

Through the marshes, he would comb.

Kiwi, the fearless frog they’d say,

With a spirit that never went astray.

He leaped with joy from lily pad to lily pad,

Exploring every corner, never feeling sad.

With each hop, his heart would race,

Discovering wonders in every place.

Through the reeds and water so cool,

Kiwi was the bravest, nobody’s fool.

His croaks echoed in the twilight’s hue,

As he explored the swamp, his adventures grew.

From hidden caves to secret hollows,

Kiwi’s courage only continued to follow.

Chapter 2 — The Polluted Swamp

Beside Kiwi’s home, a factory stood tall,

Unleashing chemical waste, causing a mighty fall.

Into the waters it carelessly flowed,

Turning the swamp into a toxic abode.

Once vibrant and teeming with life,

The swamp now faced a daunting strife.

Creatures were in danger, their homes destroyed,

As pollution spread, joy was null and void.

The water turned murky, no longer clear,

Fear engulfed the creatures, far and near.

The plants wilted, their colors fading away,

The polluted swamp was in disarray.

Animals struggled to survive each day,

Their lives threatened in every way.

The air was filled with a toxic stench,

A grave situation that made hearts wrench.

Chapter 3 — Tragic Loss

The chemical waste flowed, a relentless tide,

Engulfing the swamp, where life used to reside.

Frogs, once lively and full of cheer,

Now succumbed to the poison, their voices disappeared.

Kiwi’s heart sank as he witnessed the scene,

The loss of his friends, a tragedy so keen.

Their vibrant colors faded, their croaks silenced,

A devastating sight that made Kiwi wince.

One by one, they fell, unable to endure,

The toxic onslaught, so cruel and impure.

Their once-jumping legs grew weak and frail,

As the polluted waters told a tragic tale.

Kiwi mourned the loss of his kin,

Their absence creating an echoing din.

He vowed to honor their memory with pride,

By fighting for justice, side by side.
