Then this little baby frog grows larger and larger, until, at last, he becomes a fine fat frog, as big and as handsome as I am." "It all seems very curious," said little Tommy Smith; "and I never knew anything about it before." THEN THIS LITTLE BABY FROG GROWS LARGER AND LARGER TILL AT LAST HE BECOMES A FINE FAT FROG AS BIG AND AS HANDSOME AS I AM IT ALL SEEMS VERY CURIOUS SAID LITTLE TOMMY SMITH AND I NEVER KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEFORE
 the mother frog lays a lot of eggs, which float about in the water, and look like a great ball of jelly. After a time, out of each egg there comes a tiny little brown thing, and directly it comes out, it begins to swim about in the water, as well as if it had had swimming lessons, although, of course, it has never had any. It soon grows bigger, and then you can see that it has a large round head and a long tail, but you cannot see any legs. But, as it goes on growing, a small pair of hind legs come out, one on each side of the tail, and then every day the tail gets smaller and the hind legs larger. Still there are no front legs yet, but at last these come too. The tail is now quite short, and the head and body begin to look like a frog’s head and body, which they did not do before, and they go on looking more and more like one, until, at last, the little brown thing with a tail, that swam about like a fish in the water, has changed into a little baby frog, that hops about on the land. WARMER WE COME UP AGAIN AND THEN THE MOTHER FROG LAYS A LOT OF EGGS WHICH FLOAT ABOUT IN THE WATER AND LOOK LIKE A GREAT BALL OF JELLY AFTER A TIME OUT OF EACH EGG THERE COMES A TINY LITTLE BROWN THING AND DIRECTLY IT COMES OUT IT BEGINS TO SWIM ABOUT IN THE WATER AS WELL AS IF IT HAD HAD SWIMMING LESSONS ALTHOUGH OF COURSE IT HAS NEVER HAD ANY IT SOON GROWS BIGGER AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS A LARGE ROUND HEAD AND A LONG TAIL BUT YOU CANNOT SEE ANY LEG BUT AS IT GOES ON GROWING A SMALL PAIR OF HIND LEGS COME OUT ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE TAIL AND THEN EVERY DAY THE TAIL GETS SMALLER AND THE HIND LEGS LARGER STILL THERE ARE NO FRONT LEGS YET BUT AT LAST THESE COME TOO THE TAIL IS NOW QUITE SHORT AND THE HEAD AND BODY BEGIN TO LOOK LIKE A FROG'S HEAD AND BODY WHICH THEY DID NOT DO BEFORE AND THEY GO ON LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE ONE UNTIL AT LAST THE LITTLE BROWN THING WITH A TAIL THAT SWAM ABOUT LIKE A FISH IN THE WATER HAS CHANGED INTO A LITTLE BABY FROG THAT HOPS ABOUT ON THE LAND
