A gentle retelling for listeners ages 3–5 of Beatrix Potter's rainy-day tale: Mr. Jeremy Fisher, a frog, goes fishing from a lily-leaf boat, catches a prickly stickleback instead of a minnow, and is snapped up by a trout that spits him out because it dislikes his raincoat.

Down by a pond, in a small, soggy house ringed with buttercups, lived a frog named Mr. Jeremy Fisher.
Squelch, squelch! Even the pantry floor was slippy-sloppy. “Splendid!” said Mr. Jeremy. Wet toes never gave him a sniffle. And who fussed? Nobody!
Plip! Plop! Big raindrops splashed into the pond. “Fishing weather!” cried Mr. Jeremy. “Worms first. Then a dish of minnows, tiny fish, for my dinner.”
