Reading comprehension: Passage 6 — Raining Frogs (Places and Events)
- Read the passage aloud.
- Raining Frogs
Something strange happened. It was in Odzaci. Odzaci is a small town in Serbia. The year was 2005. What happened? It rained frogs! The frogs were tiny. They were not hurt when they landed. They began to hop everywhere! The frogs were not the same kind as the ones in Odzaci. They were a different kind.
The frogs had been picked up in a waterspout. A waterspout is caused by spinning winds. It is like a tornado over water. Entire ponds have been sucked up in waterspouts. Fish and frogs in the pond get sucked up, too.
After the frogs were picked up, they were carried in the air. They were blown over Odzaci. When the winds were not as strong, the frogs fell from the sky. They rained down and hopped away!
