How a Butterfly Grows

A butterfly is an insect.

The female butterfly grows eggs in her body so she finds a leaf or a stem of a plant.

When she finds a plant she puts sticky glue and attatches it on the plant.

A few weeks later the egg hatchers and becomes a caterpillar.

It starts to eat the leaf.

When it is older its old skin is too small so it grows a new skin underneath the old skin.

Six weeks later the caterpillar spins a cocoon.

After that it comes out as a butterfly with its new wings.

Butterflies are fabulous insects.

How to Ride a Bike 
A bike is a simple machine that has two wheels.
The way how you ride a bike is you need a bike. Then you sit on the bike and put your feet on the pedals and move your feet to pedal. The bike will move as you pedal faster and faster with you on the bike.
Bikes are fun to ride when you ride one.
