THE MOTH. 
time, and wipe it, and then turn it down over the 
Moth, and you will be able to see it very well. Now 
look at its wing. Does it not look soft and warm } 
You see it has a kind of down all over it. It has 
six legs, and it can walk very fast with them. This 
Moth was once an egg, not so big as the knob of a 
pin : then it was a sort of grub ; — one kind of grub 
can spin a web, but our Moth did not do this : next, 
a hard case came all over the grub, so that it was 
not able to move or eat, and it lay in this case for 
a long time ; at last the case had a rent in it, at 
one end, and out of this hole came our Moth, the 
same size that it is now. The Moth can fly best 
when it is dusk, it does not fly by day. And now 
that we have seen it we will put it out, and then 
shut the door, so that it may not come back into 
the room any more.
