Class Writing: Life cycle of a butterfly

There are many colourful butterflies at the Butterfly Garden. In the beginning, the mother butterfly lays an egg on a leaf. After a few days, the egg cracks. Out comes a tiny caterpillar. It starts to eat the eggshell and the leaves. It becomes bigger and fatter. Then it sticks itself on a branch. It becomes a chrysalis with a hard shell. After some time, the shell breaks. Out comes a butterfly with wet and crumpled wings. Soon, its wings will and the butterfly will flit from flower to flower to suck the nectar with its long tongue.
