The Caterpillar and the Mouse

Once upon a time, there lived a friendly mouse in a small cottage. He enjoyed going for walks in the woods. One day, he saw a fat caterpillar on a yellow leaf. Hello there! Are you new here? Lets be friends! Since that day, the mouse and the caterpillar became close friends.

Three weeks later, the mouse came back and saw that the caterpillar was not there anymore. The mouse waited for the caterpillar. Suddenly a beautiful butterfly emerged from the tall trees. Hello Mr. Mousey, why are you so sad? Have you seen my friend Cater? Cater is not here! Dont you recognize me, Mr. Mousey? I am your friend!

The mouse was shocked and laughed. He could not believe it was Cater. The butterfly explained how Cater became a butterfly. Now, listen carefully, Mr. Mouse. I hatched from an egg. People called me caterpillar. I ate a lot of leaves. I became fat. Then, people called me a pupa. I was resting in pupa for some time. Finally, from a pupa, I became a butterfly. Wow! It sounds like magic and you are more beautiful now. Together they laughed happily.
