Butterfly

Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out as eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tabular body. The caterpillar eats leaves, beds, or flowers of plants. When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one week. Some others take years to change. When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect unfolds its wings and pumps blood and air into then. It spreads out the wings until they become dry and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from flowers. Most butterflies live only for one or two weeks.

After crossing the lake, they found that the sound was coming from a large fallen tree. Underneath the tree, there was a group of birds trying to repair their nests that were destroyed by the fallen tree. Quacky and his siblings immediately helped the birds repair their nests.

After finishing helping, the birds thanked them and offered to take them on a tour of the forest. Quacky and his siblings happily accepted the offer and together they explored the wonders of the forest, making new friends along the way.
