Now, listen again and follow along with the script below.
Tom: Hey, what's that?
Dad: That? Oh, that’s called a daffodil. I planted it along with the other flowers.
Tom: No, no, I mean what’s that on the flower?
Dad: Where? Oh, there. That’s a caterpillar.
Tom: It looks strange. Why is it black and white and yellow?
Dad: I’m not sure. But I think it’s a way to tell other animals that it doesn’t taste good.
Tom: You mean like birds?
Dad: Yeah, that’s right. Hey, look over there, it’s a butterfly!
Tom: Wow, it has really beautiful orange wings.
Dad: Yeah, it does look nice!
Tom: And . . . what’s that? Over there?
Dad: I think that’s a web.

Tom: What?! Look at that thing! It’s almost as big as my hand.
Dad: No, it’s not. Well . . . maybe . . . it’s a little big. But it’s nothing to be afraid of. I think the spider is more afraid of
you.

Tom: Well, I think this one eats people!
Dad: Aargh! What’s that? Is that a bee?
Tom: No, I don’t think so . . .
Dad: Oh . . . good.
