The Naughty Silkworms
Recently, I am keeping some silkworms at home. They are like good friends to me, and the first thing I do as soon as I come back home from school every day is to see them and check if they have grown bigger.
I watched them grow up so quickly. From when they were only little“black dots” till now when they have grown so big and white in just a few weeks. One or two days ago, one of them began to spun1 a cocoon2 around it!The cocoon is also big and white, it looks like a small egg. During the silkworms growth, I also noticed some funny things they did. Probably the silkworms didnt like their home, probably they wanted to discover a new world; probably they wanted to find more delicious mulberry3 leaves... When I turned my head and looked at the pan where I put my silkworms, I surprisingly found two of the silkworms had climbed out of their home with a mulberry leaf under them. They seemed to have a great time under the sunshine... So I didnt disturb them. After a few minutes, I looked them again. The two silkworms and the leaf had all disappeared!
“Oh my God!” I muttered4 to myself quietly. I thought they had eaten up their food, and had climbed back into the pan. I looked down to the floor, and was surprised to see that a silkworm was eating the mulberry leaf with relish5 and the other one was in my school backpack!The silkworms are naughty, arent they?
調(diào)皮的蠶寶寶
最近,我在家里養(yǎng)了一些蠶寶寶。它們對(duì)我來說就像是好朋友一樣,每天放學(xué)回家第一件事情就是去看它們,看看它們是不是長(zhǎng)大了一些。
我看著它們長(zhǎng)得這么快,就僅僅幾個(gè)星期便從一個(gè)個(gè)“小黑點(diǎn)”長(zhǎng)成現(xiàn)在這樣又大又白。一兩天前,它們其中一條已經(jīng)結(jié)繭了。結(jié)出來的繭也是又大又白,看上去像一個(gè)小蛋。
在蠶寶寶成長(zhǎng)的過程中,也發(fā)生了不少趣事。也許蠶寶寶不喜歡它們的家,也許它們想發(fā)現(xiàn)新世界,也許它們還想尋找更多桑葉……當(dāng)我回頭去看盛放著蠶寶寶的盤子,驚訝地看到兩條蠶寶寶已爬出了盤子,身下墊了一片桑葉。它們似乎正沐浴在陽(yáng)光底下,享受一段美好的時(shí)光……所以我沒有打擾它們。幾分鐘后,我又轉(zhuǎn)身去看蠶寶寶。兩條蠶寶寶和那片桑葉卻不翼而飛了!
“哦,天哪!”我輕聲自言自語(yǔ)道。我還以為它們吃完桑葉后會(huì)爬回盤里去。當(dāng)我低頭看地板時(shí),卻驚訝地看見一條蠶寶寶正在津津有味地吃桑葉,另一條則偷偷地鉆進(jìn)了我的書包里!蠶寶寶們很調(diào)皮,不是嗎?
