After about two weeks like this, we all grew up to look like chickens. The eggs were too small to accommodate us. So we pecked through the eggshells ourselves and ran out. A little chicken came out of each egg. "When we first came out, we were all wet, ugly, and didn't know anything. We relied on our mother to take care of us. She took us outside to find something to eat, including small insects and millet. Sometimes the farmers would throw some rice grains for us to eat." Now, our feathers are gradually plump and our bodies are growing, and we can come outside to find something to eat on our own. "I am my sister, and he is my brother. Boys and girls are a little different. In the future, a bright red cockscomb will grow on his head, and his tail will grow longer, making his feathers more beautiful than ours. And every morning, he would run up to the soil slope and shout a few times, urging people to wake up quickly. ”The little chicken said this and asked the little turtle, did she grow up like her? The little turtle shook its head and said, "Although I am like a little chicken, I crawled out of the eggs my mother laid, but we live in a pond. I heard that when my mother was about to lay eggs, she crawled up from the water, slowly and laboriously walked to a place with sand, dug a deep pit, and then one, two, three... laid all the eggs in the sand pit. After she laid the eggs, she carefully filled the pit, and no one would see anything under the sand." The sun warmed the sand every day, and the sand warmed the eggs again. After a few weeks, the sand moved bit by bit, and a small head emerged from the ground, and that was me! Because I grew up to be like a little chicken, I felt like I couldn't fit in my eggs anymore, so I had to come out! Every egg had a little turtle running out. We have a total of ten siblings this time. After we came out, we never saw our mother because she laid eggs and went back to the pond, no longer caring about us. Fortunately, as soon as we arrived in the world, we could take care of ourselves, and it didn't matter if we didn't have a mother. When we first came out, we didn't feel hungry. When we got hungry, we reached out our heads, stretched our legs, and went to the pond to find something to eat. Look, I ate a lot of small insects and aquatic plants in the water, and now I've grown so big... "Before the little turtle could finish speaking, he heard a small frog on a lotus leaf in the pond shouting," Hehe, heh! You're so proud that you ate a lot of small insects! Do you know who was harmed? My mother lays hundreds of eggs in the water every time, and once she lays them, she leaves and no longer cares about us. We finally turned from eggs into tadpoles and swam happily in the water. However, we ran into a turtle head-on and swallowed several of us with just one mouth. After a few days, the turtle ate us up very little. It's not easy for us to grow from tadpoles to frogs! We first grow two hind legs and then two front legs. At this point, although we look like our mother and can jump out of the water for a while, we still drag a tail. Only when the tail gradually becomes smaller and no longer exists, can we truly grow into a frog. "P21-22
