Warm spring came and the ice in the pond melted. The mother frog slept for a winter and woke up. She crawled out of the mud hole, jumped into the pond with a thud, and laid many black round eggs on the aquatic weeds. The spring breeze was blowing, the sun was shining, and the water in the pond was getting warmer. The eggs laid by the mother frog slowly moved into a group of tadpoles with large heads and long tails, and they swam around in the water, very happy.
One day, the mother duck took her child to the pond to play. The little tadpole saw the little duck following its mother and paddling around in the water, and she remembered that her mother had come. Little tadpole, you ask me, I ask you, but no one knows.
"Where is our mother?"
They swam to the mother duck together and asked the mother duck, "Mother duck, mother duck, have you seen our mother?" Can you tell us what our mother is like?"
The mother duck replied, "I have seen that your mother has two large eyes on the top of her head and a wide and large mouth." Find it yourself. ”
"Thank you, Mother Duck!" The little tadpoles swam forward happily.
A big fish swam over, and the little tadpole saw two large eyes on the top of their heads, and their mouths were wide and large, and they thought that their mother must be coming, and they chased after them and called out to their mother: "Mother! Mom!"
Big Fish smiled and said, "I'm not your mother, I'm Little Fish's mom." Your mother has four legs, go to the front and look for it. ”
"Thank you! Mother Fish!" The little tadpoles swam forward again.
A big turtle swam over, and the little tadpole saw that the big turtle had four legs and thought: This time it was really the mother who came, so she chased after it and shouted: "Mother! Mom!"
The big turtle smiled and said, "I'm not your mother, I'm the little turtle's mother." Your mother's belly is white, go to the front and look for it. ”
"Thank you! Mother Tortoise!" The little tadpoles swam forward again.
A large white goose "snorted" and swam over. The little tadpole saw the white belly of the great white goose and thought happily: This time I can really find my mother. He chased after it and shouted, "Mom! Mom!"
The great white goose smiled and said, "Little tadpole, you are mistaken." I'm not your mother, I'm the goose's mother. Your mother is dressed in green and singing 'clucking', go to the front and look for it. ”
"Thank you! Mother Goose!" The little tadpole swims forward again.
The little tadpoles swam and swam to the edge of the pond, and saw a frog sitting on a round lotus leaf "clucking" and singing, and they quickly swam over and whispered, "May I ask you: Did you see our mother?" She has two big eyes on the top of her head, a wide and big mouth, four legs, a white belly, and a green dress, singing 'cluck'..."
The frog giggled and she said, "Alas! Silly boy, am I your mother?"
The little tadpoles listened, wagged their tails together and said, "Strange! odd! Why don't we look like you?"
The mother frog smiled and said, "You are still young, in a few days you will grow two hind legs; In a few days, you will grow two more front legs, four legs will grow together, take off your green clothes, just like your mother, and you can jump to the shore with your mother to catch insects and eat. The little tadpole listened, and flipped his head in the water with joy: "Ah! We've found Mom! We've found Mom! Good mother, good mother, come to us! Come to us!"
The mother frog jumped into the water with a thud and went to play with her children.
