On Frog Pond

This task is about adding words to a  text so it makes sense -  This will also show comprehension and understanding of text.

Read the text and put in the correct word.

It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the water (1).    All sorts of  pond animals are waking up. A (2) busy day is beginning. At the edge of the pond, a little green frog sits on a lily pad (4) in the water. He is hidden here among  a (5) floating plants. He keeps very still and very quiet (6). His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching a (7) dragonflies. He's watching for slugs and worms. He's looking (8) for flies. This little frog is hungry for files(9).  Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums Up  (10) above the water. She is a fierce hunter, looking  (11) for insects. She hovers near a clump of trees (12). She can fly in

any direction, even backwards  and (13) sideways. Like the frog, she has very

big  Eyes (14). Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a Rock (15). She swoops down

like an arrow and grabs the (16) fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it teeth (17), she munches away at it with her sharp Teeth (18) parts.  The little frog has seen all this happen(19). He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce, off (20) he keeps very still. He hopes that the winds (21) will take off towards him when she's finished eating (22). He hopes she won't notice him sitting still  the (23) green among the pondweed. Soon she flies  Off. (24)
