Kay gave him a big grin. “Nice joke,” said Dad, with a smile.

Dad and Kay swam in the sea. Kay saw a big wave. She swam fast. She felt the wave

“We must find a wet place to live,” said Big Frog.

The frogs set out from the pond. They came to a deep hole. It was a well that people

had dug. The frogs saw water in the well.

“This deep well has water,” Small Frog said. “We can live here!”

Big Frog said, “We left the pond because it was dry. What will we do if this well dries

up? We will not have a way to get out. The hole is too deep.”

Big Frog was wise. The frogs set out again.

by the East Gate. She was not late. He was.

Dave felt bad that he was late. “I did not mean to make you wait,” he said.

“I did not mind,” said Liz. “I was reading my book.” Liz’s book was about whale sharks.

“Sharks scare me!” Dave cried.

“Whale sharks are not mean,” said Liz. “But they are as big as whales.”

Becoming a Frog

1 What looks like a fish, swims like a fish, and gets air like a fish—

but is not a fish? The answer to that riddle is a tadpole. A tadpole

is not a fish. A tadpole grows and changes to become a frog.

2 Tadpoles begin their lives in water. Tadpoles hatch from eggs

laid by an adult female frog. A tadpole has a round head and a tail.

It breathes through gills, like a fish. The newly hatched tadpole rests

at first. Then, as its tail grows bigger and stronger, the tadpole uses

it to swim about. Its main food is bits of water plants.

3 Over time, the tadpole’s body changes.

The changes may take weeks, months, or

even years. The tadpole begins to grow

legs. The hind legs appear first, and then

the front legs. A tongue forms in its

mouth. Inside its body, lungs take shape.

Lungs are what land animals use to breathe

on land. The tadpole’s gills disappear.

4 Finally, the animal leaves the water.

It may still have a tail, which begins to

shrink. The animal is not a plant eater

anymore. It uses its long tongue to

catch insects. The tadpole has become

a frog.

GLOSSARY

gills (noun, plural) Gills are what fish use to breathe in water.

lungs (noun, plural) Lungs are what animals use to breathe air.

shrink (verb) To shrink is to get smaller.
