It’s a sunny morning.
Crick, the cricket, Annie, the ant, and
Speedy, the spider, are under a big tree
in the forest. Suddenly, a small
caterpillar comes up to them.
“Hi, what’s your
name?” asks Annie, the ant.
“I’m Nelly, the
caterpillar”,
answers the caterpillar.
“I’m Crick, the
cricket”,
says Crick.
“I’m Speedy, the
spider”,
says Speedy.

The caterpillar is
sad.
“Why are you sad?”
asks Annie.
“I’m very small and
ugly”, says Nellie.
“Don’t be sad. We’re
your friends”, says Speedy.
The caterpillar isn’t
sad now. She eats through a green leaf,
says goodbye to her new friends and goes
home to sleep.

The next day, Nelly,
the caterpillar meets her new friends
again. They’re having a picnic under the
tree.
“Good morning,
everyone”, says Nelly. “How are you
today?”
“I’m fine, thank
you”, says Annie.
“I’m very well, thank
you”, says Crick.
“I’m just fine”, says
Speedy. “How are you?”
“I’m hungry, very
hungry”, answers Nelly.
“Here’s a pear” says
Annie, the ant, and gives it to the
caterpillar.
“Here are two
strawberries”,
says Crick, the cricket, and gives them
to the caterpillar.
“Here are three
cakes”,
says Speedy, the Spider, and gives them
to the caterpillar.

“Thank you, my
friends”, says the caterpillar and eats
through one pear, two strawberries,
three cakes, four carrots, five small
tomatoes. She takes a deep breath and
goes on to eat through six cherries,
seven pink sweets, eight chips, nine
chocolate cookies and ten green beans.
She isn’t hungry now. She says goodbye
to her friends and goes home to sleep.

The next morning,
Crick, Annie and Speedy are under the
tree. They’re waiting for their new
friend.
“Where’s Nelly?” asks
Annie.
“I don’t know”,
says Crick shrugging his shoulders.
They’re sad.

Suddenly, a beautiful
butterfly flies up to them.
“Good morning”,
says the butterfly.
“Good morning”, say
the three friends.
“Who are you?” asks
Speedy.
“I’m Nelly, your
friend”,
says the butterfly.
“Nelly, you’re so
beautiful”, says Annie.
“And so big!”,
says Speedy.
“Look! I can fly!”,
says the
butterfly. “Can you fly?”
“No, but I can jump”,
says Crick, the cricket.
“I can run fast”,
says Annie, the ant, happily.
“And I can climb”,
says Speedy, the spider.
The four friends are
very happy. They sing altogether.
