Swimming about in the water were lots of tadpoles.
"Hello tadpoles!" you called. "Do you know where I can find a magic daisy?"
The tadpoles swam over to you and stuck their heads out of the water. "We don't know anything about magic daisies," they said. "We are beautiful tadpoles. Look at our shiny black coats. Look at our wonderful tails. Aren't we beautiful?"
"Oh, er, yes, very beautiful," you said.
"When we grow up, we'll turn into beautiful frogs, with wonderful green skin and lovely, long, sexy legs," said the tadpoles. "Don't you think frogs have sexy legs?"
You thought this conversation was becoming strange so you decided to ask someone else. You saw another creature swimming around in the water. She was about the size of a tadpole but she looked quite different.
"Hello!" you called. "Do you know where I can find a magic daisy? I asked the tadpoles but they didn't know."
