Level 3 Reading

It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the water (1).    All sorts of  pond animals are waking up. The (2) busy day is beginning.

    At the edge of a(3) pond, a little green frog sits on a pondweed(4) in the water. He

is hidden here among  those(5) floating plants. He keeps very still and very quiet(6).

His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching the(7) dragonflies. He's watching for

slugs and worms. He's waiting(8) for flies. This little frog is hungry for flies(9).

    Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums quietly(10) above the water. She is a fierce

hunter, looking(11) for insects. She hovers near a clump of sticks (12). She can fly in

any direction, even backwards or(13) sideways. Like the frog, she has very

big eyes(14). Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a plant(15). She swoops down

like an arrow and grabs the(16) fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it

as(17), she munches away at it with her sharp teeth(18) parts.

    The little frog has seen all this before(19). He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce,

so(20) he keeps very still. He hopes that the dragonfly(21) will take off towards him

when she's finished eating(22). He hopes she won't notice him sitting

still on (23) green among the pondweed. Soon she flies off (24).
