The Magical Life Cycle of Bella the Butterfly
Once upon a time in a lush green forest, there was a tiny egg on a leaf. This was no ordinary egg, it was Bella. She was destined to become a beautiful butterfly. After a few days, Bella hatched as a tiny caterpillar. She loved to munch on leaves. As she grew, she shed her skin several times. This is known as molting. One fine day, Bella felt different. She felt the need to take a long rest. She hung upside down on a twig and formed a protective shell around herself. This stage is known as the pupa stage. Inside the shell, Bella was transforming. When she emerged weeks later, she had changed into a beautiful butterfly. Bella’s transformation is what we call a life cycle. Just like Bella, every animal goes through a life cycle. It s nature s magical way of ensuring life goes on!
