葡萄树上住着一只毛毛虫(caterpillar),毛毛虫感到非常孤单,他好想念自己的妈妈。于是,他踏上了寻找妈妈的旅程。他的妈妈是谁?他找到妈妈了吗?Let'sread the story.

A caterpillar lives in a grape tree.

He is alone and he misses his mum.

So, he begins to look for his mum.

The caterpillar meets a little snake.

"Are you my mum?" asks the caterpillar.

"No, I'm not your mum," says the snake.

"I'm a snake."

"Do you know my mum?" asks the caterpillar.

"Your mum is a butterfly," says the snake.

"She's beautiful. She can fly."

The caterpillar meets a bird.

"Are you my mum?" asks the caterpillar.

"No, I'm not your mum. I'm a bird."

"Where can I find my mum?" asks thecaterpillar.

"Your mum is a butterfly," says the bird.

"She often flies in flowers.

A bee is flying in flowers.

"Are you my mum?" asksthe caterpillar.

"No, I'm not your mum,says the bee. "I'm a bee."

"Do you know my mum?" asks the caterpillar.

"Your mum is a butterfly," says the bee.

"Look, she's over there."

The caterpillar climbs tothe butterfly.

"Mum! Mum! I miss youso much," says the caterpillar.

"My dear baby, I missyou, too," says the butterfly.

"Mum, why can't Ifly? " asks the caterpillar.

"My baby, when yougrow up, you can fly, too."says the butterfly.

A few days later, the caterpillar becomes a butterfly.

He dances happily with his mum in flowers.

蝴蝶的一生要經历四个阶段:卵、幼虫、蛹、成虫。毛毛虫要变成蝴蝶非常辛苦,所以常用“Broken cocoon into abutterfly(破茧成蝶)”来指虫儿通过痛苦的挣扎和不懈的努力,化为蝴蝶的过程。人们也用此来比喻一个人重获新生、走出困境。
