1. I am retelling The Hungry
Caterpillar story by Eric Carle.

2. In the light of the moon a little egg lay on
a leaf.

3. One Sunday morning the sun came up and
pop! Out of the egg came a very hungry
caterpillar.

4. On Sunday the caterpillar ate through 1
green leaf. He felt much better

5. On Monday he ate through 1 apple, but he
was still hungry.

6. On Tuesday he ate through 2 pears, but
he was still hungry

7. On Wednesday he ate through 3 plums,
but he was still hungry

8. On Thursday he ate through 4
strawberries, but he was still hungry

9. On Friday he ate through 5 oranges, but
he was still hungry.

10. On Saturday he ate through all this food.
That night he had a stomach ache

11. Now he wasn’t hungry anymore, and he
wasn’t a little caterpillar any more. He
was a big fat caterpillar

12. He made a small house, called a cocoon.
He stayed there for 2 weeks, until he
nibbled a wee hole out.

13. He was a beautiful butterfly.
