The Naughty Silkworms

The Naughty Silkworms

Recently， I am keeping some silkworms at home. They are like good friends to me， and the first thing I do as soon as I come back home from school every day is to see them and check if they have grown bigger.

I watched them grow up so quickly. From when they were only little“black dots” till now when they have grown so big and white in just a few weeks. One or two days ago， one of them began to spun1 a cocoon2 around it！The cocoon is also big and white， it looks like a small egg. During the silkworms growth， I also noticed some funny things they did. Probably the silkworms didnt like their home， probably they wanted to discover a new world; probably they wanted to find more delicious mulberry3 leaves... When I turned my head and looked at the pan where I put my silkworms， I surprisingly found two of the silkworms had climbed out of their home with a mulberry leaf under them. They seemed to have a great time under the sunshine... So I didnt disturb them. After a few minutes， I looked them again. The two silkworms and the leaf had all disappeared！

“Oh my God！” I muttered4 to myself quietly. I thought they had eaten up their food， and had climbed back into the pan. I looked down to the floor， and was surprised to see that a silkworm was eating the mulberry leaf with relish5 and the other one was in my school backpack！The silkworms are naughty， arent they？

調(diào)皮的蠶寶寶

最近，我在家里養(yǎng)了一些蠶寶寶。它們對我來說就像是好朋友一樣，每天放學回家第一件事情就是去看它們，看看它們是不是長大了一些。

我看著它們長得這么快，就僅僅幾個星期便從一個個“小黑點”長成現(xiàn)在這樣又大又白。一兩天前，它們其中一條已經(jīng)結繭了。結出來的繭也是又大又白，看上去像一個小蛋。

在蠶寶寶成長的過程中，也發(fā)生了不少趣事。也許蠶寶寶不喜歡它們的家，也許它們想發(fā)現(xiàn)新世界，也許它們還想尋找更多桑葉……當我回頭去看盛放著蠶寶寶的盤子，驚訝地看到兩條蠶寶寶已爬出了盤子，身下墊了一片桑葉。它們似乎正沐浴在陽光底下，享受一段美好的時光……所以我沒有打擾它們。幾分鐘后，我又轉身去看蠶寶寶。兩條蠶寶寶和那片桑葉卻不翼而飛了！

“哦，天哪！”我輕聲自言自語道。我還以為它們吃完桑葉后會爬回盤里去。當我低頭看地板時，卻驚訝地看見一條蠶寶寶正在津津有味地吃桑葉，另一條則偷偷地鉆進了我的書包里！蠶寶寶們很調(diào)皮，不是嗎？
