The Very Hungry Caterpillar

In the light ^{(світло)} of the moon ^{(місяць)} a little egg lay ^(лежав) on a leaf.

One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and pop! Out of the egg came a tiny ^{(крихітна)} and very hungry caterpillar.

He started to look for ^{(шукати)} some food.

On Monday he ate through ^{(прогриз)} one apple. But he was still ^(досі) hungry.

On Tuesday he ate through two pears, but he was still hungry.

On Wednesday he ate through three plums, but he was still hungry.

On Thursday he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry.

On Friday he ate through five oranges, but he was still hungry.

On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice cream cone, one pickle ^{(маринований огірок)}, one slice of cheese, one slice of salami, one lolipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, one slice of watermelon. That night he had a stomachache ^{(біль в животі)}!

The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt ^{(почувався)} much better ^{(набагато краще)}.

Now he wasn’t hungry anymore ^{(більше не був голодний)} - and he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more. He was a big, fat caterpillar.

He built a small house, called a cocoon (chrysalis), around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks. Then he nibbled ^{(прогриз)} a hole ^(дірка) in the cocoon, pushed ^{(виштовхнув)} his way ^(шлях) out ^{(назовні)}.

He was a beautiful butterfly!
