The Ant and the Caterpillar毛虫

Run about 乱跑 到处跑

Looking for food met a caterpillar that was almost at its time of change

Warp a hand shell about itself

The ant only noticed只注意到 that the caterpillar was even还 alive活着 because of a tiny movement of its tail尾巴.

What an unhappy animal you are !

Climb up to the top of the tallest tree,but you can hardly even move.

Heard all this

As he wondered what had happened ,he felt himself in the shade.

Felt himself fanned by the wings of a beautiful butterfly.

And was never seen by the ant again

MORAl: Do not judge by appearances.
