== The Story of Bertie the Caterpillar ==
Once upon a time, there was a tiny furry caterpillar. His name was Bertie. He lived in a little cabbage patch next to a river. Every morning, he would climb up onto a cabbage leaf and munch away all day long. But poor Bertie was lonely. All his friends lived in the big cabbage patch, on the other side of the river. The cabbages were much juicier  and much fatter. And all the caterpillars were much fatter too. One day, Bertie looked across the river, and saw them all munching away merrily as usual.  He sighed. "Aww, they're having so much fun." "Hey Bertie! ome on, munch with us! Come on! Come on Bertie! Bertie! Bertie! Come on!" They cried. The river was much too wide for him to cross. How would he ever get to the other side? A big, fat tear trickled down his face and fell into the water. Suddenly, he heard a noise. He looked down and saw a frog jumping from one lily pad to another. "If a frog can float on a lily pad, then so can i." Bertie inched his way onto a lily pad. Then using a twig for an oar, he paddled across the river. "Come on, Bertie! You can do it!" At last he reached the other side. Soon he was munching on the juiciest cabbage leaf he'd ever seen. And from that day on, Bertie was never short of friends to play with.
