The story follows a caterpillar from hatching from an egg on a leaf until becoming a butterfly. Each day of the week the caterpillar eats through a different fruit, but remains hungry. On Saturday it eats through a variety of foods and gets a stomach ache. The next day it eats a leaf and feels better, having grown into a large caterpillar. It then spins a cocoon and stays inside for two weeks, emerging as a beautiful butterfly.

THE VERY HUNGRY
CATERPILLAR
By Eric Carle 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 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 stomach ache.
The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf,
And after that he felt much better.
But 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 around himself, called a Cocoon,
And 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.
