Mary and the Caterpillar

Mary had a flower garden. She visits it every day after school. She cleans the flower beds
every weekend. Oh, how she loved her garden. One day, Mary noticed that the leaves of the
gumamela were eaten. She found a caterpillar in one of the leaves. She was about to destroy it
but it looked so small and harmless that she decided to leave it there. She watched the
caterpillar eat the leaves. After a few more days, Mary didn’t find the caterpillar anymore. She
found it in a rolled leaf. Perhaps it grew tired of eating and now wants to sleep. The following
week Mary looked for the caterpillar in the rolled leaf. It wasn’t there. She thought it died.
Then, she saw a beautiful yellow butterfly .“Could it be that this butterfly was the caterpillar?,”
Mary wondered.
