First paragraphs
Long ago, there lived a frog at Olifants River.
-
One day, while Frog was swimming in the rain, he started to feel hungry. He noticed a swarm of flies nearby.1
“I will fill up my stomach with flies,” thought Frog.
-
When the rain stopped falling, he jumped out of the river towards the flies.2
Chameleon was also hunting flies.
-
“This is my territory and my food!” said Chameleon harshly, starting to change colour in anger.3
Frog jumped as far away as he could.
-
He crouched in a bush, trying to overcome the shock caused by Chameleon.4
As Frog was trying to calm down, Hyena came along. She was burning the bushes.
-
Frog was terrified of fire!5
Frog jumped to the ground and hid under big leaves. The wide leaves hid him, but he could still feel the fire all around.
6
Frog covered his eyes in fear. He jumped as high and as far as he could.
-
He landed with a splash, back into the river.7
Frog saw Turtle, relaxing on a branch. He swam over to Turtle.
-
“Hello, how was your day?” asked Turtle.-
“It was very quiet,” smiled Frog.8
