Frogs croak in the reeds that surround the bog. The water is very murky and underneath the surface tadpoles dart around. There are minimal places to stand to stay dry.

I love swimming in the river with the other fish. Mostly I spend my days looking for smaller fish to eat. When people cast lines into the river, we all swim away from them and hide. Sometimes one of the other fish gets confused and bites down on the lures.
Oh, how I love swimming in this river! Me too! Thankfully the snakes don't like us. How are you today, my tadpole friend? Very well Fish, Thank you. How are you today? I'm doing well, too. Just trying to avoid all these fishing lures. Sometimes the worms look so tempting! Oh I know what you mean, They almost get me too. There's plenty of food in the reeds too. Good thinking! Want to head towards the reeds? Absolutely lets go! Do you ever think about leaving the bog? Yes, often I wonder what's out there ya know?  I was wondering what you were going to do when you grow up. I thought you might want to leave the bog when you get bigger. Do you think it's scary? I do think it's scary, Leaving all of my friends to explore this big world.
