The Very Hungry Caterpillar

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.
On Monday
he ate through one apple.
But he was still hungry.
On Tuesday
he ate through two pears,
but he was still hungry.
On Wednesday he ate three plums
but he was 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.
On Saturday
he ate through one piece of chocolate cake,
one ice-cream cone,
one pickle,
one slice of Swiss cheese,
one slice of salami,
one lollipop,
one piece of cherry pie,
one sausage,
one cupcake,
and one slice of watermelon.
That night he had a stomachache.
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 anymore.
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, and...
he was a beautiful butterfly!
