Children's Bible Stories - The Shiny Object

Red, a dart frog, is poisonous and often mistaken for food. Its poison is used for self-defense, not hunting. Its poison comes from its skin and can ooze large amounts when stressed. When enemies try to eat it, they either die or become ill. Over time, animals learn not to consume them. Red's poison is poisoned to Satan, but if repented, baptized in Jesus' name, and received the Holy Ghost, they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, which is poisoned to Satan. This caution is especially important in tropical forests where frogs are more dangerous than snakes.
