Going To the Frog Pond I awoke to sunlight shining through the curtains on my sleepy face. I burst out of bed and grab my boots and coat. I slid my toes into my boots and tied them up real tight. I said to myself, “I know exactly where I’m going to spend my day.” As I pulled open the wooden door, a rush of freezing wind blew around me. I yelled to my mom, “I’m going to my favorite place for adventure!” I slammed the door and ran as fast as I could. As I got closer, I could hear the light whispering croaks of the little green creatures. I turned the corner to see them bobbing up and down on the cool-watered pond. I saw one on the edge and went to grab it. I lost my step and stumbled down into cold, dirty water. As I pulled my feet from the mud, I felt a little creature leap on my head! I said to the critter, “It’s a good thing I love frogs.” I slowly reached up and grabbed the slimy, polka-dotted frog from my hair. I reached the bank and took off my muddy boots and wet socks. I laid back onto the beautiful green grass. As I lay playing with my new friend, I thought to myself, “I’m the luckiest kid to be able to come here so often.” This is a fantastic place to be. I wish a frog would jump on my head everyday.

Its passengers tossed and turned, almost like butter being churned. Its job doesn’t stop, as it flows into a rock. We need this thing that we call a stream. So please be good and keep it clean.

My friends and I were going to the surface to catch some lunch, when I found a coke can floating in the water. Then from the corner of my eye, a ziplock bag flew into the water and caught me! It must have been hours until my friends got me out. Besides me getting trapped, I am familiar with trash in the water. My stepbrother, Floppy, was attacked by an evil can of soup. So humans, it would really help us frogs if you didn’t pollute our home. Love, Jumpy Longlegs P.S. If you stop polluting our water, kids can have more pool parties.
