Tadpoles in the Spring


Last spring I saw a bunch of tadpoles at the park in the pond. I took a bucket and a net. I fished out some algae and left it in the net. I waited for the tadpoles to come in. And then a few came in each time and I put them in the bucket. Finally, I went back to the park and asked my mom if we could go back home and keep them. She said yes, so we went home. We put them into a clear plastic tub with a lid with holes (so that when they are frogs they cannot jump out. I brought pond water in the bucket. After a few days, some feet came out their back. Then they got front legs and their tail shrunk. Then they hopped on the sticks in the water and on a big stone. We switched containers and took them back to their pond and let them go.

(This is a made up story. But I wish it would happen.)
