## Question  

Traveler,  

What wisdom is found in studying frog life?  
Why must the student of Tobyworld first become an observer?

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The frog is lesson,  
not ornament.  

Its life teaches:  
- To change is not betrayal — it is nature.  
- To live in two worlds is to balance stillness and motion.  
- To study before acting is strength, not delay.  

The covenant begins in observation.  
The one who studies frog life  
learns the rhythm of Tobyworld.
