At that night, the little stable where baby Jesus was born, with joy of men and animals altogether, was really the kingdom of God.
In order to let Jesus come to the world, young Mary and Joseph who loved her overcame anxiety and doubt to be one.
Jesus the Son of God was born in this world to live and die like everyone, to show any death is no misery. That was the event of Christmas. That night the frogs new that.
Finally, the frogs thought of their most painful death - to be prey of a shrike. The crucifixion of Jesus overlapped on their possible impalement. They understood the meaning "Jesus died our death"
The frogs found Martin, instead of working, praying in tears watching at the scary picture showing Jesus dying on the cross. Martin spotted them then and invited them to pray together.
Wasabi wanted to know what Martin was doing. Takuan told they should not meddle into his matter, but went together with Wasabi .
The frogram stayed that night at Martin's house. Wasabi was attracted by the night snowing scene.
Further, the frogs decorated Latte's horns. He became like a walking Christmas.
Leaving the church, they confirmed where the bell tower was. The frogs felt like seeing the bell closely, but the tower is narrow and high, they should not bother Latte, without whom they would get frozen.
