When the salmon encountered a bear blocking their path, the Lovely Leaper was able to perform a series of impressive flips and twists over the waterfall to safety, inspiring the other salmon to follow. In the end, the Lovely Leaper returned home and laid her eggs, hoping that one day one of her babies may also be a lovely leaper.

    Born to Leap

    From the beginning, she was different. The


    moment she hatched from her tiny pink
    egg, she tried to leap. But she couldn't!
    The yolk from her egg hung from her
    belly. It slowed her down.
    For a while, the yolk was her food. As she
    ate, it got smaller and smaller. Then it was
    gone. Now she was a fry. She was slim,
    silver, and one inch long.
    Oh, now how she could leap! All salmon
    are great leapers, but her leaping was
    special.
    "I love to leap!" she said, flinging herself
    into the air.
    "You'll never grow big, leaping like that,"
    said another salmon.
    Leaving Home
    But she did grow-just like the others.
    Soon, they knew it was time to leave
    home. They swam downstream and headed
    for the ocean.
    On the trip, she practiced her leaps.
    "I was born to leap!" she said, jumping
    higher and higher.
    "You'll hurt yourself, leaping like that,"
    said the other salmon.
    But she never did.
    In the ocean, she practiced her special
    leaps.
    She did a sideways roll! She did a double
    twist!
    She did a triple backward flip!
    "I must say," said another salmon, "she is a
    lovely leaper."
    The Bear
    Years later, the salmon knew it was time to
    go home. It was time to go upstream to
    spawn. Soon they would lay the eggs that
    would become baby salmon.
    They swam against the current of the
    stream. They struggled through rapids,
    leaped over waterfalls, and darted away
    from hungry predators.
    Then, at one waterfall they met a bear!
    "We'll never make it," said one salmon.
    "We're done for," said another.
    "Maybe not," said the lovely leaper.
    She gathered all her strength and swam
    forward. She leaped with all her might.
    The bear had never seen anything like it!
    He watched her go up and up, higher and
    higher. He watched her twist one way,
    then another.
    He watched her flip end over end, and then
    backward!
    What the bear didn't see was the other
    salmon as they jumped the waterfall and
    swam safely away.
    Quickly, she followed! With one last
    mighty flip, she was over the falls and
    gone.
    Home Again
    Home at last, she dug a hole with her tail.
    As her final task, she laid hundreds of tiny
    pink eggs. Before long the baby salmon
    would hatch. Like all salmon, they would
    be great leapers.
    And maybe one would be a really lovely
    leaper
