FROGS
One day I went to the park. I played on the
swings and in the sandpit. I walked down to the
pond. I saw ducks swimming on the water. I
saw a mother frog sitting on a log. She was big
and green. She said, 'Croak, croak'.
The mother frog can lay jelly eggs. Tadpoles will
hatch out of the frog eggs. I saw some tadpoles
swimming in the water. They can swim very fast.
They can hide in the reeds. I like to catch tad-
poles. One day the tadpoles will grow legs.
They will soon be big green frogs too.
I'm a frog.Colour me green
and yellow.

There once was a Philistine warrior called Goliath. His strength was such that his enemiesfeared him greatly. There was a war between between the Israelites and the Philistines andGoliath was the Philistines' greatest weapon. Israel had sent out its bravest and strongestwarriors only to see them slain by the giant Goliath. King Saul of Israel had promised hisdaughter's hand in marriage and great riches to any person who could defeat Goliath, butnone dared to try.
A young man named David and his brothers came to the camp of King Saul and weresaddened to hear of their plight. He went to the King and, much to the horror of his brothers,offered to fight the huge Philistine. The King was puzzled that such a young man, with nofighting experience, would offer his life so freely. However, David explained that he had killedmany wild beasts while herding his flocks and that he would be honoured to fight for the king.
Eventually the king accepted David's offer and gave him the finest armour and swords toassist him. David declined the offer of help and went to face Goliath armed only with a staffand a shepherd's sling.
When Goliath saw the young boy approach he at first laughed loudly and then becameinsulted that such a young boy had been sent to do battle with him. He hurled insults at Davidwho replied that he had God on his side and that that would be enough to defeat Goliath.
This made Goliath so angry that he charged at David, who nimbly stepped out of the way to
allow Goliath to run past. The giant lumbered past and David quickly loaded his sling. AsGoliath turned to face David he was hit between the eyes by the pebble slung from David'sslingshot.
The blow was so accurate that Goliath was killed and fell to the ground with an earth-trembling crunch. Seeing the great giant felled, King Saul's army raced across the plain andeasily defeated the Palestinian army. David was taken before King Saul as the hero of thepeople and greatly rewarded for his bravery and faith.
