The next day was Sunday again.
The caterpillar ate through a nice green leaf,
and after that he felt much better.

Now he wasnt hungry anymore and he wasnt a
little caterpillar anymore.
He was a big, fat caterpillar.

He built a small house, called a cocoon, around
himself.
Then he nibbled a hole in a cocoon, pushed his
way out and

he was a beautiful butterfly.
