Looking back over his shoulder he saw how far he'd come already, looking forward from his spot on lily pad 17, he saw that lilypad #21 was a little farther, squatting down like a frog again he jumped to that one, grabbing hold of the edges as it swayed back and forth. Ugh, he hated that feeling of it swaying! Rocking back and forth he held on for dear life, desperate not to fall into the lake.

Ok, steady...steady righting himself he jumped to lilypad #25. AHH! He nearly slid off that time his feet now hanging into the water, only his stomach on the lilypad. Pulling himself up he nearly slipped off again. He was soaked, and this certainly wasn't gonna help him in the last 2 jumps!
