It's a place of calm, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
A veritable oasis of tranquillity and...
Ewww!
What. Are. Those?
Your pond is full of
wriggly raisins, Duggee.
They're not wriggly raisins, Norrie.
HE LAUGHS
A-woof, woof. Woof.
They're babies? That's right.
They're called tadpoles!
Are tadpoles baby worms?
No.
Baby fish?
No-o-o-o.
Baby snails?
No.
Not quite, Squirrels.
Tadpoles are in fact...
baby...
SPAT! R-R-R-Ribbit!
SQUIRRELS: Frogs?!
They don't look like frog.
R-R-R-Ribbit!
Or sound like frog!
Are you sure, Duggee?
A-woof!
Oh, yes. Duggee's quite sure, Squirrels.
He's got his Tadpole Badge.
SQUIRRELS: Oooh. A-woof!
It says here that tadpoles
don't look like frogs at first.
But then they grow arms and legs...
turn green...
and finally...
they hop out of the water...
a fully grown frog!
R-R-R-Ribbit!
That's am-AZ-ing!
Do you think they know?
Let's tell them!
ALL: Yay!
SPLAT! R-R-R-Ribbit!
And, finally, you hop out of the
water a fully grown frog.
NO WAY!
I know! We didn't believe it either!
Yeah, so, that's not going to happen.
I'm going to stay like this forever.
Um... It says here,
you'll get arms and legs soon.
What? But he hasn't got any arms and legs.
TADPOLES: Ewwwwwrr!
Arms and legs are disgusting!
No, they're great!
Seriously!
Arms and legs are extremely useful.
Sooo not going to happen.
POP!
POP-POP-POP-POP-POP...
Arrgggh! Make it stop!
We can't.
It's nature.
It says here you are going to
turn green and spotty next.
Ewwwr! Not spots!
Not listening! La-la-la-la-la!
POP!
POP-POP-POP-POP-POP...
TADPOLES: Eugggh!
Not fair!
You're doing very well.
Sooo patronising.
We're really proud of you.
Embarrassing! RUMBLE...

When do they start sounding like frog?
Er... Oh! About now!
R-R-R-Ribbit!
I'm never going to sound like that. Ribbit?
No way, man, that is never going to...
R-R-R-Ribbit! ..happen?
