Mary and the Caterpillar

Mary had a flower garden. She visits it every day after school. She cleans the flower beds
every weekend. Oh, how she loved her garden. One day, Mary noticed that the leaves of
the gumamela were eaten. She found a caterpillar in one of the leaves. She was about to
destroy it but it looked so small and harmless that she decided to leave it there. She
watched the caterpillar eat the leaves. After a few more days, Mary didn’t find the
caterpillar anymore. She found it in a rolled leaf. Perhaps, it grew tired of eating and now
wants to sleep. The following week, Mary looked for the caterpillar in the rolled leaf. It
wasn’t there. She thought it died. Then, she saw a beautiful yellow butterfly. “Could it be
that this butterfly was the caterpillar?”, Mary wondered.
