Dottie, A True Story

One day my mom and I rode our bikes to the park. We were looking for a monarck butterfly egg. We didn't find an egg but we found a cattapiller the size of a pinky fingernale.

We took it home and it ate milkweed. It grew and grew. After two weeks it made a cakoon. Then after one week it became a butterfly!
