Once there was a caterpillar named Gloria. She lived alone, in a hut, on an island called Tropical Paradise Island. She loved adventure!!! She often liked to use her imagination to find her adventures. One day, Gloria said,"Today, I'm going to make a boat. I'll sail to the next island. I'll sail tomorrow. Now I will make the boat!" Gloria was so happy. She packed four bags of things to bring on the trip. In the evening, she finished the boat. She decided to name it the S.S.S. Paradise. The next day at five o'clock AM, she started to sail. She was very happy. But inside, She kind of missed her island. But outside, she was too happy to be sad. At night, Gloria went to sleep below deck. (She had made a two floor boat.) Down there, were supplies and a nice cozy bed. The next day, she woke up and cried, "Land, ho! Hooray!" Gloria rowed to shore. She saw a pile of sticks. I could use those sticks to make a house, Gloria thought. She got off her boat and pulled her boat up on the sand, and parked it near where she was. Then she saw a bottle. She open it up. There was a piece of paper. Gloria shouted, "A treasure map! Well, first I'm going to make a hut. Then tomorrow, I'll start searching." Gloria finished her hut. She was hungry too. So she set off for food. She walked and walked. Finally she found a fresh tree of leaves. Gloria took them home to eat. The next morning, Gloria met a caterpillar named Stacy. Gloria told Stacy how she got to the island and found the bottle. Stacy said, "This island is called: Golden Good Island.. I lived her my whole life. Could I come with you to find the treasure?" "Sure," Gloria said, "How about tomorrow?" "Yea!" Stacy exclaimed. "Well, come on. Come with me to my house. It isn't far from here." So they walked and walked. Finally, they got to Stacy's house. It was pretty. It was also getting dark outside. "You can stay here for the night. It's too dark to walk home." Stacy said.
