    The frogs appeared one by one. It was difficult for them to move forward because stomachs were 3  water, which they had stored in their sleep. The Rainbow Serpent tickled(挠疼)the frogs and, when they 4  , water ran all over the Earth and that is how lakes and rivers were formed.

    Because there was water, all the animals 5  , and the grass and trees grew. The animals followed the Rainbow Serpent across the land. They were happy. Each lived and collected food with other animals of the same kind.
