The Naughty Silkworms调皮的蚕宝宝

李婴

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？

调皮的蚕宝宝

最近，我在家里养了一些蚕宝宝。它们对我来说就像是好朋友一样，每天放学回家第一件事情就是去看它们，看看它们是不是长大了一些。

我看着它们长得这么快，就仅仅几个星期便从一个个“小黑点”长成现在这样又大又白。一两天前，它们其中一条已经结茧了。结出来的茧也是又大又白，看上去像一个小蛋。

在蚕宝宝成长的过程中，也发生了不少趣事。也许蚕宝宝不喜欢它们的家，也许它们想发现新世界，也许它们还想寻找更多桑叶……当我回头去看盛放着蚕宝宝的盘子，惊讶地看到两条蚕宝宝已爬出了盘子，身下垫了一片桑叶。它们似乎正沐浴在阳光底下，享受一段美好的时光……所以我没有打扰它们。几分钟后，我又转身去看蚕宝宝。两条蚕宝宝和那片桑叶却不翼而飞了！

“哦，天哪！”我轻声自言自语道。我还以为它们吃完桑叶后会爬回盘里去。当我低头看地板时，却惊讶地看见一条蚕宝宝正在津津有味地吃桑叶，另一条则偷偷地钻进了我的书包里！蚕宝宝们很调皮，不是吗？endprint
