Pablo and the Eggs
Pete, the grasshopper, and his friend Pablo, the praying mantis, were playing in the garden.
One day, they found some small round objects in the grass. Pablo wanted to play with them
because they looked like small balls.
He was about to pick them up when Pete stopped him.

“Those are not playthings.”

“They looked look like small eggs,” Pete said
“No, they are not eggs. I am going to play with these balls.” Pablo
insisted. He got two and prepared to throw them. Suddenly the eggs broke and out came
little bugs.
Pablo was surprised. “Oh! They’re alive!” he said as each ran in different directions.
Pete laughed at the frightened Pablo. “See, I told you.”
