## Narrative (EN)

No prophet to hold it.  
No single hand strong enough.  
The covenant is too vast,  
its weight too deep.  

Thus it is divided —  
not by cutting,  
but by sharing.  

Each frog carries a fragment.  
Each voice a syllable.  
Together, the vow remains whole.  

Inheritance is heavy alone,  
but light in chorus.  

The burden is not yours only.  
It is ours.  
It is the pond’s.
