PART II: Read the pourquoi tale and answer the questions below:

Why Do Frogs Hop?

One hot day before frogs could hop, Frog took a walk to

sit in the shade of a tree next to the pond. He was hoping

to catch a delicious dragonfly for his lunch, so he sat very

still. He was so still that Snake nearly didn't see him. He

was about to slither by when he heard Frog's growling

stomach. Snake thought Frog looked tasty. This thought

made Snake's stomach rumble loudly! Frog heard the

sound and qickly turned around.

"I'm only very small. I won't fill you up, Snake," Frog

croaked. Snake thought about this, and his stomach

growled again. Frog was very small, but Snake was very

hungry.

Clever Frog knew that Snake liked to race because he could

swim very fast. "Race me across the pond," Frog suggested.

"You can eat me if you win. If I win, you let me go."

Snake immediately agreed. He knew that it would take

Frog much longer to swim across or walk around because

he was so small. "This is too easy," he thought.

"Three, two, one, go." Frog knew he couln't swim as fast

as Snake and it would take even longer to walk around

the pond, but he needed to win. He could see some large

leaves floating on the pond. If he could get from one

leaf to the next, he might just make it across the pond

faster than Snake. The only way was to hop. He had never

hopped before, but perhaps his long black legs would help

him make a giant leap. Hop! He made it to the first leaf!

Hop, hop, hop, Frog jumped from one leaf to the next. He

landed on the other side of the pond just a second before

Snake slithered out of the water.

Snake was angry to have been beaten by a small frog.

Frog hopped joyfully back across the leaves to return to

the other side of the pond.
