The Very Hungry Caterpillar
On an early Sunday morning, "a tiny and very hungry caterpillar".
Hatches from his egg and immediately begins searching for food.
For the following five days, the caterpillar eats through an increasing quantity of fruit.
One apple on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday.
F
our strawberries on Thursday, and five oranges on Friday.
However, the caterpillar remains hungry.
On Saturday, he feasts on a piece of chocolate cake.
An ice-cream cone, a pickle, a slice of Swiss cheese, a slice of salami, a lollipop.
A piece of cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake and a slice of watermelon.
Later that night, the caterpillar gets a stomach ache from overeating.
The following Sunday, the caterpillar eats a green leaf, relieving his stomach ache.
Now a "big, fat caterpillar", he builds a cocoon around himself and stays inside of it for more than two weeks.
Afterwards, he nibbles a hole and pushes his way out.
Emerging as a large, multi-colored butterfly.
