breathlessly moving closer to the
toad. THE mother toad lays the
eggs in the water and covers them
with jelly for protection. After
they are Matched, they are called

things that swim around in the
water tadpoles?' interrupted Mary.
Yes. They live in the water six
weeks and then they lose their
tails, grow legs and swim to shore.
After that they live on land. When
