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.
He started to look for some food.
I’m so
HUNGRY!
On Monday he ate through 1 apple.
But he was still hungry.
On Tuesday he ate through 2 pears, but he was still hungry.
On Wednesday he ate through 3 plums, but he was still hungry.
On Thursday he ate through 4 strawberries, but he was still hungry.
On Friday he ate through 5 oranges,
but he was still hungry.
On Saturday he ate through 1 piece of chocolate cake,
1 icecream cone
1 pickle,
One slice of Swiss cheese,
1 slice of salami
1 lollipop,
1 piece of cherry pie,
1 sausage,
1 cupcake,
And 1 slice of watermelon.
That night he had a stomachache!
The very hungry Caterpillar then ate through one green leaf. He started to feel better.
Now, the caterpillar was no longer small. He was a big, fat, caterpillar.

BIG
He built a small house, called a cocoon around himself. He stayed inside for more than 2 weeks. Then he nibbled a small hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and…
A BEAUTIFUL
BUTTERFLY!
