Three quarreling frog siblings named Milton, Rupert, and Lydia argued over ownership of the water, earth, and air on their small island home. A big toad told them their fighting would destroy the island. When it started raining heavily, reducing the island to a small rock, the frogs found refuge on what they thought was a rock but was actually the toad, who had saved them. The frogs then agreed the island's resources belonged to all of them.

It’s Mine! A fable by Leo Lionni
In the middle fo a pond there was a small island. It was covered with plants.
On the island lived a family with three little frogs named Milton, Rupert and Lydia. They quarrelled all the time.
‘ The water is mine!,’ said Milton.
‘ The earth is mine!,’ shouted Ruppert.
‘ the air is mine!’ screamed Lydia.
One day a big toad appeared. ‘ I live on the other side of the island and I can hear you shouting all the time. You can’t go on like this.’
When the toad left, they started fighting again. ‘ Worms are for everybody,’ they said. But Milton croaked, ‘not this one, it’s mine!’
and the island became smaller and smaller Suddenly, it started to rain heavily The frogs were scared!
There was only a small rock. So, the frogs climbed onto it.
But look! The large rock was not a rock. It was the Toad!
‘ You saved us!’ said the frogs happily.
‘ The water is ours!’ said MIlton ‘ The earth is ours!’ said Rupert ‘ The air is ours!’ said Lydia
And now, they enjoy the island together.
