The second will be a narrative about an encounter with a poisonous dart frog.Then my last task will be physical features in a dart frog that helps them survive.I hope you enjoy this post! WALT: To understand what we are reading by answering questions about a text!
The Poisonous Dart Frog...
Character
Sapphire is a herpetologist. A herpetologist is someone who studies reptiles and amphibians. She has long golden hair and glimmering hazel eyes. She also has a button nose. She loves frogs and studying them.Sometimes she wishes she was a frog.
Setting
On a boiling Saturday evening she went out to Colombia, South America. While she was there, she went into the woods which was right behind the small remote village she stayed at for three whole days.The trees were as thick and hard as bricks. The leaves are as light as feathers. Every time she stepped a stick would break.CREEK.She had to swim through a thick river to get to the other side.The farther she walked, the quieter the sounds got. Ribbet. Ribbet. Ribbet. She heard her favourite animal talking to her. A FROG! Sapphire started running towards the sound. Ribbet, Ribbet. The faster she ran the louder the frog got.
Problem
Ribbet, Ribbet, Ribbet! Sapphire was sprinting with her camera in her hand and her water bottle in the other.She was getting worn out. She decided to stop and have a drink of cool, fresh ice cold water.Gulp,gulp,gulp,gulp,gulp.The croaking stopped. Sapphire was confused?Sapphire looked down beside her, and there it was… the terribilis. Sapphire was frightened.She slowly put her drink bottle down. This was a moment to capture. Even if she's risking her life.She didn't know what to do if she was face to face with a poisonous frog she thought she should stay low, and stay quiet. But she didn't know if it was going to work.
Solution
She slowly brought her camera to her eye. *Slow and steady* she thought. CLICK! She took the photo.The frog looked her in the eye and jumped towards her. He must be shy.Sapphire fell to the ground. Her camera fell out of her hand. “NO!” She hooted. She cautiously crawled towards her camera.Swipe! She got it before the frog reached.*How can a beautiful frog be so dangerous!?!?* She thought to herself.Swoosh! The frog was at her feet. Sapphire started sprinting like she never had before!She was breathing faster than a newborn baby. “ LEAP!” She thrusted herself over the thick river. Criss cross through the trees.She halted. Then turned around. The frog would not make the jump.She knew. Lucky for her...she was right.She jogged back to the small village.Then she took a look at her picture. “Perfect” she whispered.
