Caterpillars

We have been reading about Monarch caterpillars. In this story a boy and his koro watch as a two Monarch caterpillar eggs transform into butterflies. The author wrote this story... because caterpillars and Monarch butterflies are interesting because they are taonga that means precious. They also have a hard shell and you can tell which Monarch butterfly is a man cause they have 2 black dots with perfume in them. They also say how koro's son died so his moko lives with koro. That tells us a life cycle of a human.
