Chuck，unlike other frogs，didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.  Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever. That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning，Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond，Chuck ate flies from her web. One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast，Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him. “You're the one who keeps eating my flies！”she cried. Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea！Why not spin (结) his own web? He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours，until very late at night. And then he fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning，he found that he got caught by the vines. “Help！”he shouted. Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web. “No matter how hard I try，I can't spin a spider's web，”Chuck said. “Of course not，”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim，I guess.” “But I always see you in the water，”Chuck said. “I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees，”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.” Chuck smiled，“I have an idea.” From that day forward，Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond，where they floated and played together. When they returned to land，they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web. It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog. 小题1:The second paragraph is written to show that Chuck ______.
