0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Everyone knows - that frogs eat snails.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- She's been sitting by the pond all - morning waiting for her next meal.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Cai the woodlouse isn't worried.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Don't be silly, Cai, off you go.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Quickly, before that frog sees you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Cai decides to hide too...
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- ..in case the frog leaves the pond.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Very wise, Cai.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Soon, it's lunchtime.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Down by the pond, the little - creatures continue to hide.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- This is stupid. - I want food and I want it now.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24- Cheerio!
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- The frog is still in the pond, - watching and waiting.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- If Cai's hungry, - the frog must be hungry too.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I'm staying right here. Oh, no.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52- Take it easy, Gwen. - You can't move as fast as I can.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- Stay where you are, Gwen. I'll - tell you when the danger has passed.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- There's no need for Gwen - and her friends to worry.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- The frog isn't hungry.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- It plunges underneath the surface - to keep an eye on its eggs.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- There we go. The danger has passed.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- I told you - there was no need to worry.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Gwen, you can come out now.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- That's great news.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- All that worrying - has made me rather hungry.
0:04:30 > 0:04:37- I just need to... stretch down...
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- ..and my belly will be full.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Gwen won't go anywhere - near the pond.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- It's safer to keep away, - just in case.
0:04:57 > 0:04:57- .
