Read the text and put in the correct word.

It's early morning on frog pond. As the sun rises, light sparkles on the water (1).    All sorts of  pond animals are waking up. The (2) busy day is beginning.

    At the edge of  the (3) pond, a little green frog sits on a pondweed(4) in the water. He

is hidden here among  the  (5) floating plants. He keeps very still and very quiet(6).

His big, bulging eyes are watching. He's watching  for (7) dragonflies. He's watching for

slugs and worms. He's looking (8) for flies. This little frog is hungry for  flies (9).

    Someone else is hungry too. A dragonfly hums from (10) above the water. She is a fierce

hunter, searching  (11) for insects. She hovers near a clump of   flies(12). She can fly in

any direction, even backwards and (13) sideways. Like the frog, she has very

big  eyes (14). Suddenly she spots a fly crawling up a leaf (15). She swoops down

like an arrow and grabs  the(16) fly with her powerful front legs. Gripping it

wings (17), she munches away at it with her sharp teeth  (18) parts.

    The little frog has seen all this  (19). He turns very slightly. He's ready to pounce,

on (20)  he keeps very still. He hopes that the   dragonfly(21) will take off towards him

when she's finished eating(22). He hopes she won't notice him sitting

still behind (23) green among the pondweed. Soon she flies  away(24).
