Five Little Caterpillar

First Little Caterpillar

It is told that the first little caterpillar, one day, it crossed over mountains and rivers, finally it reached under an apple tree, but it didn’t know that tree had grown lots of red apples. When it looked at its companions climbed upward, simply followed them to do so. Without any purposes, didn’t know where the end was, even didn’t know why life was required or dead was at. Its fate is? Perhaps it found a big apple, spent its whole life happily; also could be lost in the middle of leaves, spent its whole life recklessly. But for sure is, most of the caterpillars are living in this way, never be vexed what was the meaning of the life, but feel relax a lot.

Second Little Caterpillar

One day, second caterpillar was under the same apple tree. It knew it was an apple tree and also confirmed its “Bug’s life Goal” which was looking for a big apple. The Question is… he didn’t know where would the apples grow at? But it guessed: The big apple should be growing on the big branch leaves. Thus, it climbed upward the tree slowly, when on the way met the branch, then it chose the thicker branch to keep on climbing.
Of course in the bug’s society, for sure the exam system existed, if have got lots of caterpillars chosen the same thick branch, may be an exam held to judge who’s qualified to pass through the big branch. Luckily, this caterpillar passed all the tests and every time it’s able to choose the best branch. Finally, it found a “big apple” from a University’s branch. However, it found that the apple it found was not the biggest apple of the apple tree; the apple was just partly biggest. This is because above the “big apple” had bigger apple called “Boss”, the “Boss” apple was found by the other caterpillar by climbing trough a branch called “Trainee”. This second caterpillar felt very pathetic because the “Learner” branch was the tiny branch that it disdained to climb.

Third Little Caterpillar

Next, the third caterpillar had come to the same apple tree. This caterpillar was quite rare; it had created a pair of telescopes in its young age. Before it climbed upward, it made use of its telescopes to search around the tree, found a huge apple. At the same time, when it found the ways from bottom till the top of the tree, would meet lots of branches, had different ways of climbing; but if the ways from above to the bottom, just had one way. It carefully started looking from the huge apple’s position, identified the path that it should pass through before it arrived the huge apple. Thus, it started climbing upward. When he met the branches, it’s not worry at all because it knew which way it should head to, no need to be crammed by other caterpillars on the same branch. Let’s say if its goal was an apple called “Professor”, then it should head to the way of entering a higher school; if its goal was “Boss”, it should choose the “Trainee” branch; if its goal was “President”, perhaps it chose the way of being “Casino bodyguard”. Finally, this caterpillar “should” have a good ending because it had sense of “foresight”. However, there’d have come some unexpected ending. Due to its slow crawl, from the predicted way to the huge apple, need a period of time. When it approached at the huge apple, perhaps either it was grabbed by other caterpillars or was over ripe till rot.

The fourth caterpillars

The fourth caterpillars was not an ordinary bug, it had the sense of foresight too. It didn’t only have the sense of foresight (it knew itself which apple that it wanted), even knew how the future apple will grow like. So it brought its foresight telescopes, its target wasn’t a huge apple, was an apple’s flower. It estimated the time of reaching there, also estimated at the moment when it arrived there, that flower would become a ripe big apple, thus it’d become the first caterpillar which eats the big apple. As a result, it had got what it should have, having a wonderful life in its whole life.

The fifth caterpillar

Actually the story of those bugs should be end. This is just because all the consequences of the stories must be positive and rich with moral values. However, still have lots of reader feel curious: what could happen to the fifth caterpillar? In fact, it did nothing, just relax under the apple tree, while had got some big apples dropped beside it. This is due to its family had conquered most part of the apple branches. Its grandfather, father and brothers took over one of the big branch, forbid other caterpillars to enter their territories. When the fruits were ripe, then they plucked the fruits and dropped them for feeding their grandchildren.
Everyone is advised is if you are not born in rich family; never dream of getting a big apple. Otherwise you will be smashed by the falling big apple.
