The Green Frog

Card meaning

Upright - doing the opposite is also a method. Only, listen once today.

Reversed - crying on a rainy day is the sound of someone who understood too late.

The card meanings are a game.

The tale

The green frog always does the opposite of what its mother asks.

Before she dies the mother asks to be buried by the stream.

She said it expecting the frog to do the opposite.

This one time the frog obeys and buries her by the stream.

The tale ends saying it cries when it rains, fearing the grave will wash away.
