A day in the life of a frog

You are a frog. Write a passage describing your day. By the end, it will be clear to the reader that you are alive, because you have proved it by referring to all seven life processes.

For example, if you were describing 'A day in the life of a flower', you might start like this:

In the morning my petals opened up as usual (MOVEMENT). I noticed to my surprise that I am already taller than the buttercups (GROWTH), even though my stalk has started to lean away from the shadow of the tree (SENSITIVITY). I think that it will soon be time for me to drop my seeds (REPRODUCTION). (And so on.)

Then learn the seven life processes for a test.
