A tadpole swims around in a pond.

It wonders where its mother has gone.

Eventually the tadpole forgets.

The tadpole grows legs and begins to kick.

The tail stops growing and gets very short.

The tadpole tastes air and pines for more.

Soon enough the tadpoles arms are there.

Where they will take her she knows not where.

The tail is now but a nub.

The gills now seem like a dud.

She climbs onto land without gills

And begins to hop into the hills.

She has eggs and lays them in the pond.

They will wonder where their mother has gone.
