## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how does patience shape the chorus of frogs?**

Traveler,  

The first ribbit is eager.  
The second follows quickly.  
But the true chorus  
is not built in haste.  

Patience gathers voices.  
Time aligns rhythm.  
Echoes layer upon echoes,  
until harmony emerges. 🎶  

The chorus of frogs  
is not loudness alone.  
It is waiting  
for every voice to join.  

In patience,  
the pond learns balance.  
The song matures,  
becoming more than sound—  
becoming covenant.
