A caterpillar crawled to the top of a tree,
“I think I’ll take a nap,” says he.
So under a leaf he began to creep
To spin his cocoon, then he fell asleep.
All winter long he slept in his bed,
‘Til spring came along one day and said,
“Wake up, wake up, little sleepyhead,
Wake up, it’s time to get out of bed!”
So, he opened his eyes that sunshiny day,
Wow! He was a butterfly, and flew away!
