The very hungry caterpillar

From Eric Carle’s bookadapted by Maestra Lidia

This is the story about the week of a small, hungry

caterpillar.

In the light of the moon a little egg lays on a leaf.

On Sunday morning a tiny and very hungry caterpillar comes out of the egg and he starts to look for some

food.

On Monday, he eats one red apple. But he is still hungry

I’m hungry!

On Tuesday, he eats two yellow pears. But he is still

hungry

I’m hungry!

On Wednesday, he eats three purple plums. But he

is still hungry

I’m hungry!

On Thursday, he eats four red strawberries. But he is

still hungry

I’m hungry!

On Friday, he eats five orange oranges. But he is

still hungry

I’m hungry!

On Saturday, he eats 1 chocolate cake, 1 ice-cream, cheese, 1 salami, 1

lollipop, 1 sausage, 1 muffin and 1 watermelon

That night he has a stomach-ache

Oh! My stomach!

On Sunday, he eats one green leaf and he feels

much better.

I’m not hungry!

He is a big fat caterpillar, now !

He builds a small house, called cocoon. He stays in the cocoon for two weeks.
