Little Grasshopper

Once there was a little grasshopper. And he had no hopper legs. But he did have wings. He was a little one.
Once a little girl saw a baby grasshopper. It was the same kind as the one with no hopper legs. But this one did have hopper legs.
There were lots of other grasshoppers.

Spider's Babies

Once I saw a spider in its web.
I saw many little creatures. I knew they were not the flies, because I saw them moving.
And then I knew that they were spiders. Baby spiders. If they had not been baby spiders, they would have been teeny spiders. But I could see that they were babies because they were in the same web. The spider had a very good place, because it was in a rose bush, and there were some leaves that covered it, so you could not see it was a web unless you looked under it. The babies were in a snug little place with some of the flies the spider had caught. I saw him run down to one of the flies in his web, but then he ran back again. He could not have been scared, because it was a fly he went down to. Maybe he ran back because his babies wanted something.

Big Blue Whale

There is a whale in the ocean.

I see it swimming by me.

It is the biggest thing in the ocean.

It is a whale, a blue whale.

Little Caterpillar Snuggled Up

Once there was a caterpillar.

He saw the butterflies

And he wondered where his brothers and sisters were.

He didn't know that he was looking straight at them.

He said, I wish I were one of those beautiful creatures up in the sky.

I wish that I were flying.

He didn't know that someday he would be.

One day, he said, I will roll up in a cocoon,

And come out as one of those beautiful creatures.

Butterflies.

And so, he did.

And when he came out, he was a beautiful butterfly

But poor thing, his wings were all wet,

So he had to sit in the sun all day to dry them.

But tomorrow he came out and flew!

Fast and Flashy Fish

Once there was a fish

And he was very big

And he was fast, and he was flashy.

He went and found a sunken boat

and an octopus came out.

Let's do a race, said the fast and flashy fish.

Then he went and found a fat big fish.

He said, let's have a race.

And the big fish said, you get in front of me

So he went in front of him and . . .

Gulp! He was eaten up.

Froggy in the Meadow

Froggy frog, where is your home in the river?

Or is it by the river? Is it in the meadow?

Before you were a little frog,

You were a little tadpole swimming in the river.

Then you were a little egg.

Before that you were in your mother's stomach.
