葡萄樹上住著一只毛毛蟲（caterpillar），毛毛蟲感到非常孤單，他好想念自己的媽媽。于是，他踏上了尋找媽媽的旅程。他的媽媽是誰？他找到媽媽了嗎？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.
蝴蝶的一生要經歷四個階段：卵、幼蟲、蛹、成蟲。毛毛蟲要變成蝴蝶非常辛苦，所以常用“Broken cocoon into abutterfly（破繭成蝶）”來指蟲兒通過痛苦的掙扎和不懈的努力，化為蝴蝶的過程。人們也用此來比喻一個人重獲新生、走出困境。
