Now that Alyssa was standing on lily pad#6, she decided to leap onto lily pad# 10 which was just to the right of the one she was on now. Slowly getting up from her crouching position, Alyssa stood up and took two small steps making sure that she didn't get to close to the edge of the pad. Then in 2 quick step, Alyssa leaped stretching her right front leg to land first on the pad, which was followed closely by her left leg. She immediately resumed her crouching position until the pad stopped rocking and she had regained her balance. Now for the next lily pad.

Alyssa picked Lily Pad#14 which lay just to the left of pad#10. Alyssa slowly stood up from her crouching position, took two steps and almost lost her balance when the pad suddenly rocked backwards under her weight. She immediately took a step forward, and fell to her knees with her hands touching the pad to get back her balance. 'Whew that was a close call,'Alyssa thought to herself. Once the lily pad stopped rocking, Alyssa slowly stood up and taking one step back this time, she quickly took one big step forward and leaped off the pad landing on the Lily Pad 14 with first her right foot and then her left. Okay she had made it this far, 6 more pads to go.
