The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

By Eric Carle
In the light of the moon a little egg
lay on a leaf.
One Sunday morning the warm sun
came up and pop! Out of the egg
came a tiny and very hungry
caterpillar.
 I’m
hungry!

He started to look for some food.

 I’m still hungry!

On Monday he ate through one

apple. But he was still hungry.
 I’m still hungry!

On Tuesday he ate through two

pears, but he was still hungry.
On Wednesday he ate through
three plums, but he was still
hungry. I’m still hungry!
 I’m still hungry!

On Thursday he ate through four

strawberries, but he was still
hungry.
 On Friday he ate through five
oranges, but he was still hungry.
I’m still hungry!
On Saturday he ate through…..

I’m ill!

That night he had stomach-ache!

The next day was Sunday again.
The caterpillar ate through one
nice green leaf, and after that he
felt much better.
Now he wasn’t hungry anymore-
and he wasn’t a little caterpillar
any more.

He was a big, fat caterpillar.

 He built a small house, called a
cocoon, around himself. He stayed
inside for more than two weeks.

Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his

way out ………
He was a beautiful butterfly!
When he realized, he was just
alone, he flew and flew until
he saw some other butterflies.
 “Hi, my name is Butty. May I
join you, "said Butty.
“Sure,” the yellow butterfly
said.
 “Wow, you got a nice color, Butty,”
the orange butterfly commented.
“That is because I’m the prettiest
among us here, Butty answered.
All the butterflies then were silent.
After a few minutes the butterflies
told Butty that they need to go
home.
All the butterflies then were silent.
After a few minutes the butterflies
told Butty that they need to go
home.
 Butty then was left alone. “I’ll
go find another place were ugly
butterflies stay,” mumbled Butty
to himself.
“Hello there tiny butterfly, said
Butty to the blue butterfly.
“Uh…hi, timidly uttered blue
butterfly.
“What if strong wind comes? For
sure you will be carried away by
it, ha ha ha ha,” Butty said while
laughing out so loud.
“Look at me, I got a very sturdy
wings aside from my very very
beautiful wings,” he boasted.
“What does he think he is, said
the other butterfly to the blue
butterfly. “Let’s go. Let us leave
him here all alone.”
“What does he think he is, said
the other butterfly to the blue
butterfly. “Let’s go. Let us leave
him here all alone.”
 “Hey! Why are you leaving,
asked Butty. Don’t you want to
play with me anymore?
No one listened to Butty.
After sometime, the sky
became dark.
 “Oh, I think it’s going to rain.
Then, it the raindrops started to
fall on Butty’s wings.
 “Oh, I think it’s going to rain.
Then, it the raindrops started to
fall on Butty’s wings.
 Butty could not get up for his
wings were soaked with water
because of the heavy rain. No
one also helped him because all
of the butterflies he met left
Him alone.
