Once upon a time, there lived five ladybugs. They were sitting on a bench and all of a sudden behind the bench, the baby ladybug saw a plant growing.
“Mum, dad, brothers what is that plant growing?”
Along with mum, dad and brothers, the baby lady bug found a tree house and there was no knob on the door and when they kept knocking, suddenly a wise walrus came out with a tall ladder and they saw that plant growing using the ladder.
Next, they saw a caterpillar build a cocoon and it slept there everyday. Next they saw a flower bud and they water it once again and the bud started to come out a little bit. And they water it once again and it bloomed out beautifully.
And the baby lady bug found out, the plant which is growing, is a rose plant.
