Sometimes,
cultures have associated frogs with fortune.
In Japan,
frogs symbolize good luck. One myth dealt with the idea that bullfrogs are
descendants of great ancestors who could suck all of the mosquitoes out of
a room in a breath.

Some myths
don't favor frogs as well. Some folklorists claim that "If the first frog
you see in spring is sitting on dry ground, it means that during the
same year you will shed as many tears as the frog would require to
swim away." If the first frog is in water you'll experience misfortune
all year. If the first "hop toad" jumps toward you, you
will have many friends, but if he hops away you will lose friends.
Some people
associate frogs and toads with demons or devils.
