The frog got himself in the right position and spotted the fly which was sitting on a big leave cleaning himself placidly with his legs. Then the frog opened his large jaws, and suddenly his tongue jumped out getting longer and longer until the thick end hit the fly sure of its aim.

“Mm this was delicious!” He shouted. “Now you try it; there is another appetizer!”
