My name is Lue Nai Vue.  This is my butterfly story.  I learned about 
the life cycle of the butterfly.  

The beginning is the tiny egg sticking on the leaf.  The egg hatches 
into the caterpillar.  
Then the caterpillar eats the shell of the egg and he grows big 
enough to eat the leaves.  He eats the leaves and grows enough.  He 
stops eating the leaves. The caterpillar makes the pupa. When the 
caterpillar is in the pupa he develops into a butterfly. The adult 
butterfly hatches from the pupa.  

This story was told to me by my teacher, Mary Cha.
