-Beyond all hills and vales,

-Forests, lakes and dales

-Stands a castle which keeps an eye

-On creatures' feats, me oh my!

-Come closer and see unfurled

-Tiny creatures' big, big world.

-It's a cold winter's morning

-in the forest.

-Prys the spider is snoozing.

-Many forest creatures hibernate.

-Prys is enjoying

-the peace and quiet.

-Suddenly, he wakes up.

-Dear me, what was that?

-There's a small pond

-near Prys' cobweb.

-Gwen the slug is also nearby.

-Something's bothering her.

-Were you shouting, Gwen? Are you OK?

-Prys, is that you?

-I'm so glad to see you.

-There's something strange

-in the pond. It's worrying me.

-The pond is full of spawn.

-A frog has laid its eggs there.

-There are hundreds of them

-on the water's surface.

-Look carefully and you'll see

-the eggs surrounded by jelly.

-This keeps them safe.

-A mayfly nymph

-also lives in the pond.

-When these eggs hatch,

-the pond will be full of tadpoles.

-In the meantime,

-Prys looks after Gwen.

-It's only frogspawn.

-It won't hurt you.

-The eggs don't bother me

-but the frog will.

-Everyone knows

-that frogs eat snails.

-She's been sitting by the pond all

-morning waiting for her next meal.

-Me!

-Gwen's right.

-There's the frog.

-If she's hungry,

-she'll leave the pond to go hunting.

-A frog? Did someone say frog?

-Oh, dear me.

-Magi the millipede

-has heard the conversation.

-Off she goes to hide.

-Cai the woodlouse isn't worried.

-Don't be silly, Cai, off you go.

-Quickly, before that frog sees you.

-Cai decides to hide too...

-..in case the frog leaves the pond.

-Very wise, Cai.

-Soon, it's lunchtime.

-Down by the pond, the little

-creatures continue to hide.

-This is stupid.

-I want food and I want it now.

-Cheerio!

-The frog is still in the pond,

-watching and waiting.

-If Cai's hungry,

-the frog must be hungry too.

-I'm staying right here. Oh, no.

-Take it easy, Gwen.

-You can't move as fast as I can.

-Stay where you are, Gwen. I'll

-tell you when the danger has passed.

-There's no need for Gwen

-and her friends to worry.

-The frog isn't hungry.

-It plunges underneath the surface

-to keep an eye on its eggs.

-There we go. The danger has passed.

-I told you

-there was no need to worry.

-Gwen, you can come out now.

-That's great news.

-All that worrying

-has made me rather hungry.

-I just need to... stretch down...

-..and my belly will be full.

-Gwen won't go anywhere

-near the pond.

-It's safer to keep away,

-just in case.
