Grandfather Frog

Grandfather Frog is the wise old man of the river.  He knows everyone, and he knew their parents too... he remembers how everything used to be.
G.F. has lived in his lily pad home in the Smiling Pool since he was a tadpole.  He always wears his suit jacket no matter what the kids' fashion is.  He dispenses wisdom and corny fables, and  he teaches the other animals about life along the river. 
Because he's a frog, he is very sensitive to any pollution in the water.
