CATERPILLAR

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
By Eric Carle
• In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on
a leaf. One Sunday morning, the sun came
up and pop-out of the egg came a tiny and
very hungry caterpillar. He started to look
for 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
through 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 once
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. He built a small house, called a
cocoon, around himself. He stayed there inside
for more than two weeks. Then he, nibbled a hole
in the cocoon, pushed his way out, and he was a
beautiful butterfly.
