“Who Am I?” Friend, Aug. 2004, 34
Who Am I?
1. I make my home near a pond.
On a lily pad I might sleep.
The sound I make is a croak.
To move I hop and I leap.
I am a ___ ___ ___ ___ .
2. I slither along on the ground.
I don’t have legs—they are missing.
I have a body that’s slender.
The sound I make is called hissing.
I am a ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ .
3. I make my home in the swamp.
I have a big, sharp-toothed grin.
I love to bask in the sun.
I have brown, leathery skin.
I am an ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ .
4. I have a shell on my back
To hide my legs, tail, and face.
I am a very slow mover.
A crawl is my normal pace.
I am a ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ .
