The episode begins with Ben and Holly playing outside in the meadow. They stumble upon a beautiful caterpillar, and Ben suggests that they take it to show the King and Queen. As they make their way to the castle, they run into Daisy and Poppy, their mischievous fairy friends. Daisy and Poppy are playing with a magic wand, and they accidentally turn the caterpillar into a frog.

Ben and Holly are upset that the caterpillar is now a frog, but Daisy and Poppy don't seem to understand what the fuss is about. They suggest that they turn the frog into a butterfly, but Ben reminds them that the caterpillar is a living creature and should be left alone.

Daisy and Poppy don't understand why Ben and Holly are so worried about the caterpillar. They explain that they want a pet, but their parents won't let them have one because they're too young and irresponsible. Ben and Holly sympathize with their fairy friends and suggest that they keep the frog as their pet. Daisy and Poppy are thrilled with the idea, and they happily take the frog back to the castle.

Once they get to the castle, Daisy and Poppy show the frog to Nanny Plum, the castle's resident fairy nanny. Nanny Plum is skeptical about the pet frog and warns Daisy and Poppy that they have to take care of it. She gives them a list of things to do, like feeding it, cleaning its enclosure, and taking it for walks. Daisy and Poppy excitedly promise to take good care of their new pet.

However, things start to go wrong when Daisy and Poppy show their pet frog to the other fairy children at a playdate. The other fairies are not impressed with the frog and find it boring. Daisy and Poppy try to impress them by showing off the frog's tricks, like jumping and croaking. However, the other fairies are not amused and start to make fun of Daisy and Poppy.

Daisy and Poppy are upset that their friends don't like their pet frog. They start to doubt whether they're good pet owners and wonder if they should give the frog back to the meadow.

They remind Daisy and Poppy that the most important thing is that they love and take care of their pet.
