STORIES FOR CHILDRENS

The very hungry caterpillar

In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf. One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and – pop! – out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar. He started to look for some food.

On MONDAY he ate through one  apple.

But he was still 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,
one slice of  Swiss cheese,
one slice of  salami,
one  lollipop,
one piece of  cherry pie,
one sausage,
one  cupcake and
one slice of  watermelon.

That night he had a stomach ache!

The next day was Sunday again.
The caterpillar ate through
one nice green  leaf,
and after that he felt
much better

Now he wasn’t hungry any more - and he wasn’t a little caterpillar any more.
He was a big, fat caterpillar.
He built a small house, called a cocoon, around himself. He stayed inside for more than two weeks.
Then he nibbled a hole in the cocoon, pushed his way out and …

… he was a beautiful butterfly!



The Gruffalo

A mouse took a stroll through a deep dark wood. 

A fox saw a mouse and the mouse looked good.

FOX: “Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have lunch in my underground house.”

MOUSE: “It’s terribly kind of you, fox, but no – I’m going to have lunch with a gruffalo.”

FOX:“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”


MOUSE: “A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.”

FOX:“Where are you meeting him?”

MOUSE:“Here, by these rocks, and his favorite food is roasted fox!”

FOX:“Roasted fox! I’m off!”Fox said. “Goodbye, little mouse,”and away he sped.

MOUSE:“Silly old fox! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo?”

On went the mouse through the deep dark wood. An owl saw the mouse and the mouse looked good.

OWL: Where are you going, little brown mouse? Come and have tea in my tree top house.”

MOUSE:“It’s frightfully nice of you, Owl, but no - I am going to have tea with a gruffalo.”

OWL:“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”

MOUSE:“A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? He has knobbly knees, and turned out toes, 

and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.”

OWL:“Where are you meeting him?”

MOUSE:“Here, by this stream, and his favorite food is owl ice cream!”

OWL:“Owl Ice cream? Too whit – toowhoo! Goodbye, little mouse,”

and away Owl flew

MOUSE: “Silly old owl! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo?”

On went the mouse through the dark deep wood. A snake saw the mouse and the mouse looked good.

SNAKE: “Where are you going to, little brown mouse. Come for a feast in my logpile house.”

“It’s wonderfully good of you, Snake, but no - I’m having a feast with a gruffalo.”

SNAKE: “A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”

MOUSE:“A gruffalo! Why didn’t you know? His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; he has purple prickles all over his back.”

SNAKE: “Where are you meeting him?”

MOUSE:“Here, by this lake, and his favorite food is scrambled snake!”

SNAKE: “Scrambled snake! It’s time I hid! Goodbye, little mouse,”

and away Snake slid.

MOUSE:“Silly old snake! Doesn’t he know, there’s no suchthing as a gruffalo...

OH” But who is this creature with terrible claws And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws? 

He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose. 

His eyes are orange, his tongue is black; He has purple prickles all over his back. 

“Ohh help! Oh no! It’s a gruffalo!” 

GRUFFALO:“My favorite food!” the Gruffalo said.

“You’ll taste good on a slice of bread!” 

MOUSE:“Good?”said the mouse.

MOUSE:“Don’t call me good! I’m the scariest creature in this wood. 

Just walk behind me and soon you’ll see, Everyone is afraid of me!” 

GRUFFALO:“All right,” said the Gruffalo, bursting with laughter.

“You go ahead and I’ll follow after!” 

They walked and they walked and the Gruffalo said,

“I hear a hiss in the leaves ahead.” 

MOUSE:“It’s snake,”said the mouse“Why, Snake, hello!”

Snake took one look at the Gruffalo.

SNAKE:“Oh crumbs!” he said,“Goodbye little mouse,” 

And off he slid to his logpile house.

MOUSE:“You see?”said the mouse.“I told you so.”

GRUFFALO:“Amazing!” said the Gruffalo.

They walked some more till the Gruffalo said,

GRUFFALO:“I hear a hoot in the trees ahead.” 

MOUSE:“It’s owl,” said the mouse.“Why, Owl, hello,!”

Owl took one look at the Gruffalo

OWL:“Oh dear!” he said,“Goodbye, little mouse,”

And off he flew to his treetop house

MOUSE:“You see?” said the mouse.“I told you so.”

GRUFFALO:“Astounding!” said the Gruffalo.

They walked some more till the Gruffallo said,

GRUFFALO:“I can hear feet on the path ahead.” 

MOUSE: “It’s Fox,” said the mouse.“Why, Fox, hello!”

Fox took one look at the Gruffalo.

FOX: “Oh help!”he said,“Goodbye little mouse,”

and off he ran to his underground house.

MOUSE:“Well, Gruffalo,”said the mouse.“You see? EVERYONE is afraid of me! 

But now my tummy’s beginning to rumble .MY favorite food is Gruffalo crumble!” 

GRUFFALO:“Gruffalo crumble!” the Gruffalo said, and quick as the wind he turned and fled.

All was quiet in the deep dark wood. 

The mouse found a nut

and the nut was good.
