This mother frog lays eggs in the water. The eggs are little.

青蛙妈妈在水里产卵。 这些卵小小的。

There are many little eggs. Little tadpoles come out of the eggs. The tadpoles are baby frogs.

这里有好多好多小卵。 小小的蝌蚪从卵里钻出来了。 蝌蚪就是青蛙宝宝哦。

Tadpoles do not look like frogs. They look like fish. The tadpoles have tails. They do not have legs.

蝌蚪长得不像青蛙，反倒像小鱼。蝌蚪有尾巴，没有腿。

The little tadpoles grow. They grow short legs and long tails. The little tadpoles do not look like frogs yet.

小蝌蚪慢慢长大，长出了短短的腿，还拖着长长的尾巴。 这时候的小蝌蚪还不像青蛙哦。

The tadpoles grow and grow. The legs get longer. The tails get shorter.

蝌蚪长呀长呀。 腿变得越来越长。 尾巴变得越来越短。
