Story source: Jewish Fairy Tales and Legends by Gertrude Landa (1919).
I enjoyed this story a lot, I liked that the story was happy and light! I think it's important to mention different emotions throughout a story. In the beginning of The Fairy Frog Hanin's parents pass away. We learn about grief and how there is a time of many days of grief. I always appreciate when stories emphasize different seasons of life and that includes emotions! Hanina and his wife used all their money and basically bet everything they had for this purchase they made at the market. That takes a lot of faith, but over time they took care of the frog and fed him with the little food they had. Eventually the frog grew to be the size of a human. As crazy as it sounds, the frog began to take requests from Hanin and his wife to pay them back for taking such great care of him.
