One
Sunday a tiny caterpillar pops out of an egg. When he comes out
he is very hungry and immediately starts looking for food.
He spends the next seven days eating lots of
different
foods. He eats an apple, pears, plums, strawberries, oranges, and
lots of other goodies.
By the seventh day he has eaten so much that he has
become a very big caterpillar. He builds a cocoon around himself,
and he stays in the cocoon for about two weeks...
Critical Thinking Question
1. What do you
think happened when the caterpillar came out of the cocoon?
