The Caterpillar

Maria went to the garden one morning. She saw that only

a few leaves were eaten. She looked behind the leaves. She saw

a big caterpillar. She got the caterpillar gently with a stick and

put it inside the box. She put some leaves with it. Every morning

she looked inside the box. She found the leaves gone. So she put

new leaves every day. One day, she found the leaves still there.

She thought the caterpillar had died. She looked well under the

leaves. She saw the caterpillar sleeping under a rolled leaf. She

left it alone. After several days, the caterpillar was gone and saw

something at the wall of the box.
