Tiny Frog Found on Bananas

from News For Kids · host ICRT

Today I'm going to talk about a frog. This is a special frog. It usually lives in Africa. And it is really small. This frog is about the size of a fingernail! 非洲有一種青蛙,跟指甲一樣小! Wow! This frog is really tiny. But there is something else special about this frog. Remember that I said it usually lives in Africa? This frog was found a long way from Africa. 這種青蛙通常住在非洲,但是在距離非洲很遠的地方有找到一隻! It was found in England! Some kids in England opened a package of bananas, and found the tiny frog! 英國有一群小學生,打開一包香蕉的時候,發現這隻青蛙。 I bet those students were surprised! You are probably wondering how those students knew the frog came from Africa. That's because the plastic package had a label. The label said the bananas came from Africa. 學生會知道這隻青蛙來自非洲,是因為包裝上的標籤寫著香蕉的產地是非洲。 So that means the bananas were put on an airplane and then flew to England. What happened after the kids found the tiny frog on the bananas? A teacher put it in a container with water. Frogs like water. 後來,老師把這隻青蛙放在裝了水的盒子。 Then they called some people to take the little frog away. These people knew how to look after animals really well. The people who took the frog think it is a tree frog. 他們請專家把青蛙帶走,專家覺得牠應該是一隻樹蛙。 I guess the frog likes banana trees! ________________________________ Vocabulary 小青蛙展開長途旅行,從非洲到了英國。 1.
