A tiny caterpillar hatches from an egg and feels very hungry. Each day of the week, he eats a different fruit but remains hungry - an apple on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, and so on. By Friday he has eaten five oranges but is still hungry. On Saturday he eats many things but then feels ill. The next day, he eats a leaf and feels better, having grown fat and big. He spins a cocoon and emerges two weeks later as a beautiful butterfly.

3. In the light of the moon a little egg
lay on a leaf.

4. One Sunday morning the warm sun
came up and pop! Out of the egg came a
tiny and very hungry caterpillar.

5. He started to look for some food.
I’m hungry!

6. On Monday he ate through one apple.
But he was still hungry.
I’m still hungry!

7. On Tuesday he ate through two pears,
but he was still hungry.
I’m still hungry!

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

9. On Thursday he ate through four
strawberries, but he was still hungry.
.
I’m still hungry!
I’m still hungry!

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

11. On Saturday he ate through…..
I´m ill
That night he had stomach-ache!

12. The next day was Sunday again. The
caterpillar ate through one nice green
leaf, and after that he felt much better.

13. Now he wasn’t hungry anymore-and
he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more.
He was a big, fat caterpillar.

14. 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…

15. He was a beautiful butterfly!

16. The End.
