THE VILLAGE GIRL.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Legna who lived in a village far away from Oavad. Legna is a shy, unfriendly girl who prefers to do everything by herself. She was home schooled as she was scared to meet and interact with everyone, believing that children would bully and judge her. Only her eagle birds, Eiba, is her best friend; she never visits their neighbors to play with the children in their village.

MOVING TO THE CITY.

Until the day came when her family had to move to Oavad due to her father's work. His father also informed Legna that she had already enrolled in the school in Oavad. Despite her displeasure, Legna has no choice but to agree to her father's decision. So, they began packing their belongings; Legna, too, did so, along with his best friend Eiba.

Choice 2 : THE VILLAGE GIRL.

FIRST DAY OF THE CITY.

The first day in the city of Oavad was very strange to Legna, as it was her first time there. It was difficult for her to adjust there because her surroundings were noisy, and her best friend Eiba could not freely fly as she could in the village. But, as before, she just hid in her room to play with Eida.

Choice 2 : MOVING TO THE CITY.

FIRST DAY OF THE SCHOOL.

On the next day, it was Legna's first day of school. Before she goes to school, she first feeds Eida and says goodbye as she will go to school. When she arrived at school and found her classroom, she sat second to the last seat as she did not want to interact with other people. Legna continues her daily routine of going to school without making friends, then returning home, hiding her room, and playing with her best friend, Eida. She continued to be dissame until the end of the week, and she didn't even try to make new friends. She spent the entire week alone, eating at the cafeteria, walking along the pathway, and studying in the library.

So, it's the weekend, and Legna and her family went back to their hometown for two days, bringing Eiba with them.

Choice 1 : LOSING A FRIEND.

Choice 2 : FIRST DAY OF THE SCHOOL.

LOSING A FRIEND.

They arrived in the village at 5:30 p.m., and because she was exhausted from the long journey, she fell asleep in her chamber, forgetting to close the window and tie Eiba, so Eiba got a chance to fly away. When she awoke the next morning, she looked for Eiba but couldn't find it; there was no Eiba in her bed, and she remembered that she had forgotten to tie Eiba the night before due to exhaustion, so she searched her entire house and even their backyard but found no Eiba. She sobs uncontrollably, knowing that she has lost her only friend, her only companion through her ups and downs. She has been searching for Eiba for how many hours, but there isn't even a shadow of Eiba? So, his father comforted Legna, saying, "Let's wait patiently for Eiba's return; I'm sure she'll be well, and I'm certain she'll find her way home soon." They needed to return to the city since it was their second day there, but Legna couldn't stop crying because she was so frustrated that Eiba was still not with them.

NEW BEGINNING.

Legna awoke and went to school, sorrowful because she would no longer have her best friend; it would be her first time going home without a buddy. Legna went straight to her classroom when she arrived at school as her English instructor was already there, and when she arrived, her teacher divided them into pairs. Legna tries to ask her teacher if she can work alone, but her teacher wants them to work in groups, so Lor will be her partner. This is when Legna meets Lor, who tries to talk to her and realizes they have similar interests and personalities. From then on, they talk every day and become friends.

After the long day of school, she went out to her house to watch the stars in the sky, and while watching, she had a lot of realizations that night.

Choice 2 : REALIZATION.

ALL ABOUT THE BOOK.

The author of this story is Angel Joliana Perez. And the target readers' ages range from 9 to 16 years old. The meaning behind the title is that if you look up the meaning of the words "boiling frog," you'll find that it refers to a safe haven. Nevertheless, if you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out, but if you put it in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not recognize the danger and will be roasted to death. So, I use "boiling frog" as a metaphor for Legna's life story, in which she was afraid to face the world and did not want to leave her comfort zone. If she does not try to explore, if you do not step outside of your comfort zone, at the end of the day, she will also be the one to suffer. The moral of this story is that if you're reading this right now, it's time for you to come out of your shell, to not settle for less, to not be afraid to face reality and to try new things. Sometimes, we put a wall between ourselves and the world because we're afraid of failure, but I'm telling you, don't be discouraged by it; instead, learn from it and move forward. May you overcome your fear and soar to your dreams like an eagle.
