Rory was the youngest caterpillar of her siblings and friends.

She dreamt of the day she would 

turn into a beautiful butterfly and be able to keep up

with all of them as they played.

Rory tried her best to play games 

with the older caterpillars, but she 

could barely hold the stick, and the 

seed was bigger than her face.   It 

really hurt when they wiggled over 

her or accidentally hit her with 

their sticks.

Rory knew she was right,

but she wanted to play so badly!

 She squirmed her way home after each game, wincing and whining as 

she went, knowing that her mom would be upset with her for playing 

sticks and seeds again. 

Rory had always wanted a pet. One day, she found a 

small aphid chewing on a leaf. She thought it would be 

perfect because it was small like she is. She lured it 

home, prepared to convince her mom to let her keep it.

Even though everyone else had pets and Rory promised to 

take care of the aphid, her mom said no. 

The very next morning, Rory followed her older friends to 

The Falls. Rory knew The Falls was not a safe place for such 

a young caterpillar and that her mom wouldn't approve of 

her being there. She quickly fell behind her friends.  

Rory wandered home feeling sad and alone.

Rory felt sick the next day, and even worse...

She was still the smallest caterpillar.
