Little Frog

The river water is clear and the weather is sunny,

The little frog has big eyes.

It protects the rice shoots by eating pests,

And has done many good deeds.

Please take care of the little frog,

So the rice shoots won't get sick.

The Principle of Pictophonetic Characters

Pictophonetic characters,

are really interesting,

one half indicates the meaning,

one half indicates the sound.

Look at the semantic component,

and you'll know the meaning,

read the phonetic component,

and you'll remember the character's sound.
