## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, does a new frog’s voice carry weight?**

Traveler,  

The ribbit of the first leap  
is not grand, nor polished.  
It is simple. It is raw.  

Yet the pond listens. 🌊🐸  

In its simplicity lies truth,  
for the ribbit is not measured  
by volume or eloquence—  
but by presence.  

Every voice, however small,  
is a thread woven into the chorus.  
The first ribbit is not an echo,  
but a declaration:  
“I am here.”

## Key Marks

- **First ribbit as presence** → value in showing up.  
- **Simplicity as truth** → no need for polish.  
- **Pond listens** → every voice matters.  
- **Belonging through sound** → ribbit joins chorus.
