What did the nightingale ask the frog about her song?

A frog lived in Bingle Bog and croaked every night from dusk to dawn, creating a loud, unpleasant noise.
The other creatures in the bog disliked the frog's voice, but couldn't stop him from singing.
One night, a nightingale appeared and sang a beautiful melody, captivating the entire bog and earning applause from the creatures.

The nightingale was surprised by the frog's criticism of her song, saying it was "not too bad" but lacked a certain force.
The frog, considering himself a great singer, offered to teach the nightingale how to improve her singing in exchange for a fee.
The nightingale was flattered and impressed by the frog's offer, and agreed to take lessons.

The frog trained the nightingale with strict vocal exercises, making her sing in the rain and charging her for lessons.
The nightingale's singing improved, but she became exhausted and lost her natural talent.
The frog's motivation was to make money from the nightingale's performances, charging admission fees to the creatures who came to listen.

The nightingale's singing became uninspired and lost its natural beauty, causing the audience to lose interest.
The ticket office gross declined, and the nightingale became sorrowful and pale, addicted to the applause and unable to sing without the frog's guidance.
