| The butterfly story |
The butterfly by animal born and Cathy Shimon at the end of the garden. There's a little striped caterpillar what do you think it's been doing all day first it ate up the leaf it was sitting on and when that was gone it started munching on the next one. There are lots of other hungry caterpillars too. There's a teeny tiny green one, a very chubby yellow one, a soft white hairy one and a big fat fuzzy one and all of them are eating as fast as they can chew. The little striped caterpillar is not so little now. But still it keeps on eating soon. It's even too fat for its skin so it shrugs it off like it's just an old coat and then it eats some more. One day the caterpillar stops eating. Perhaps it's full, it curls up under a leaf and falls fast asleep slowly. It's skin becomes a shiny case; it hangs there quietly, not moving at all for a very long time. All at once it starts to wriggle it wriggles and wriggles until the case splits open and it inches its way out. The stripey caterpillar has become a beautiful butterfly. It stretches out its bright new wings in the warm sunshine.
Then it flutters up into the wide blue sky. All kinds of pretty butterflies are flitting around the garden. There's a lacy white one, two speckled blue ones and one with circles on its wings. The butterfly flutters from flower to flower sipping sweet nectar from everyone at night. It folds its dainty wings and settles down to sleep when it's time. The butterfly carefully lays some eggs. Each one is like a tiny pearl a few days later a little stripy caterpillar pops out of each egg. They are all very very hungry can you guess what
happens next…
