The mysterious Dead Leaf Turtle has appeared!

Candy Er was amazed, her eyes widened, but it was not enough, she took off her grandfather's hand, pressed her lower eyelids with both hands, and opened her eyes wider, but she still couldn't see the dead leaf turtle.

The two of them tiptoed forward three steps and squatted lightly on the edge of the pond, just in the pool under their feet, in a mess of rocks, on a pile of dead leaves, a candy-sized turtle lying quietly.

Under the instructions of her grandfather, Candy finally found this turtle in extreme camouflage, if it hadn't stuck out its head to hunt just now, Grandpa wouldn't have found it.

This is a turtle that thinks of itself as a dead leaf.

Candy smiled and said, "Wow, so cute, so funny, why is it motionless, isn't it shy?"

Grandpa said it wasn't shy, it just liked to be motionless.

Candy thought for a moment and said, "I know! Like Frost, it likes to be lazy and sleep. ”

Candy asked again, "What was it doing, was it playing in the water?"

"It's hunting!"

"Huh, what are you hunting?"

Grandpa looked around, there was a group of small fish swimming among the fallen leaves at the bottom of the water, so he showed the candy and said, "Just now this group of small fish did not find the dead leaf turtle, so they swam in front of it, the dead leaf turtle saw the small fish, stretched its neck, opened its mouth wide, and ate the small fish in one bite." ”

Candy looked at the naughty and cute little fish, and couldn't bear to say: "Oh, the dead leaf turtle turned out to be a bad guy, how could the little fish eat them if they are so cute." ”

After speaking, Candy rolled up his sleeves and wanted to reach into the pond and grab the dead leaf turtle and question him.

Grandpa stopped her, but he didn't dare to let her catch the withered leaf turtle, he would bite and cry children.

Candy Candy pouted, a little unhappy, she thought that the little turtles were very friendly, very perfect little animals, it should be the same as she imagined, but she didn't want to eat small fish and shrimp cruelly.

Grandpa said: "Candy, nature is like this, the withered leaf turtle eats small fish, not that it is bad, but that it originally eats small fish and shrimp, they are born to eat this, just like you, you are born to eat milk, you have to eat, it's all the same." ”

Candy said, "But I don't eat small fish. ”

You ate fish and shrimp at noon!

But the little girl doesn't understand the biological chain, so she can only explain it in words she understands.

Candy asked again: "What about the dead leaf fish that my grandfather said? The dead leaf fish will never eat small fish and shrimp, I want to like the dead leaf fish." ”

Unfortunately, my grandfather said that the dead leaf fish also eats small fish, and like the dead leaf turtle, it disguises itself as a dead leaf, waits for the small fish to swim to it, and then eats it in one bite.

Candy decided not to play with the withered leaf turtle, but with the turtle prime minister's family.

Grandpa didn't tell Candy that Prime Minister Gui's family also ate small fish and shrimp.

These small fish and shrimp raised in the pond are used as food for the little turtles.

Seeing that Candy didn't like it, Grandpa stopped talking about turtles, but taught Candy to recognize the small animals in the pond.

For example, small snails attached to the edge of the pond crawl gently and slowly along the pond.

There are also clumsy stone silkworms, which drag their small sheaths to the surface of the water, climb up the aquatic plants, and then stick their front bodies out of the sheath. Some of them lie leisurely on the aquatic plants to bask in the sun, and some of them swim under the water.

There is also the lively water beetle, which has a chest wing that glistens in the sun, like a mighty general.

There is also a bunch of glowing beans, the most cheerful, active and energetic creatures in the pond, who dance all day long, in contrast to the quiet of turtles.

Of course, the last thing that is missing in the pond is the white-bellied frog.

"Quack~"

"Huh, there's a frog?!"

Candy suddenly ran over and searched for the source of the sound.

Last time, I stayed in the grove with Tang Shuang overnight and listened to the frogs singing all night, but because it was dark and Aixi Lake was too big, not a single frog looked at it, only heard its sound, and did not see its frog, which made the candy very uncomfortable.

My grandmother's pond was so small that you could clearly see the other end from one end of the bank, so it wasn't too difficult to find the frogs hiding inside.

Soon Candy found a green-skinned frog in a few wisps of aquatic grass on the shore, and the little girl squatted on the shore with a smile, looking at it happily, and then suddenly reached out into the water and grabbed it, wanting to catch it and play with it.

But she moved too slowly, and the frog stabbed and disappeared.

Candy retracted her hand in disappointment, unwilling to do so, and stood on the shore muttering, her eyes wide and wide-eyed, trying to find the frog again.

The frog was obviously frightened and didn't know where it was hiding, and no matter how much he tried to find the candy, he didn't see it again.

Candy: "Grandpa, why do frogs croak all the time, and what are they doing?"

Grandpa took out a handkerchief, helped the little girl dry her hands, and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm telling stories to the little turtles, small fish, shrimp, and small snails in the pond." ”

"Huh? Why?"

Candy asked, holding her curious little head high.

Grandpa touched her little head and said, "Once the little fish met a frog in the pond and asked the frog what it was like on the shore, and the frog wanted to carry the little fish to the shore to have a look, but the little fish could not leave the water. ”

On the first day, the frog told the little fish about a butterfly it met on the shore, and the butterfly was so beautiful, not only the little fish liked it, but also the shrimp and the snails. ”

"As a result, more and more small animals listen to the frog's stories every day, and now all the small animals in the pond have to listen to the frogs tell stories every day......"

Candy proudly told her grandfather that she had also listened to the frog's story, and listened to it all night, with Xiaoshuang, when she woke up, and when she was sleeping......

I said that I would go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, but I was delayed for more than an hour because I told the story in the pond to the candy.

When Grandpa left with Candy, Candy remembered the gift she had prepared for the little turtles.

The little girl runs back to her room and finds a little turtle toy from her small bag.

This is a pink inflatable little turtle, only the size of candy's palm, with a very large head and a very small body, and its eyes are the same as candy's, with big watery eyes.

This is a style that Tang Shuang bought with the candy and was selected by Xiao Niu Niu herself.

Candy dropped the little pink turtle into the pond and splashed water to push it to the little yellow duck in the middle of the pond.

She released this little yellow duck during the Spring Festival last year, and this year she released a little pink turtle, and the small pond of her grandmother's house is really getting more and more lively, full of childlike fun.
