LESSON 63 THE FROG

THE FROG

1. I am a frog. I can live in the water, as well as on the land.

2. My mother laid eggs in the pond.

They floated on the top of the water and looked like tiny black balls joined together with jelly.

3. I was one of the little black balls.

4. When I was hatched from the egg, I wriggled out of the jelly into the water.

5. I became a tadpole, with a big black head and a long black tail.

6. I swam in the water wriggling my tail from side to side, looking for food.

7. Soon my legs began to grow? first the back ones, then the front ones.

8. As my legs became stronger and longer, my tail became shorter, till, at last, I had no tail at all.

9. Then felt that I did not want to live in the water all my life.

10. I found that I could hop out of the water on to the land and here I am in this great big world.
