- [Rider] Hiya, Butterfly.
- Hey kiddo.
- I'm looking for a snack.
- Another snack?
- I'm growing big and tall.
- You're definitely getting bigger everyday.
Here you go. Think you could eat those while
you bring these straws to Grammy?
- Sure I can.
I mean, sure I can.
- Thanks Rider
[dog barks]
- Love ya!
[humming]
Enjoy your snack little bird.
Hiya, butterfly.
Flutter, flutter, flutter.
Hey, whoa! Where'd that butterfly go?
Oh, there it is.
[panting]
A caterpillar. It's eating the leaf.
Look at all the holes he made. He must be hungry.
Wolfie, when that caterpillar grows up
he'll become a butterfly. I learned that from a book.
Butterflies love to eat, ugh, I don't know
what butterflies eat.
[birds chirping]
No holes. Hmm. I guess he's not eating the flowers.
[laughter]
Flitter, flitter, flitter.
Flitter, flitter, flitter.
[giggling]
[sniffing]
[bark]
Whoa! The butterfly drank something from the flower.
Some kind of flower water maybe.
- Well hello, Rider.
- Shh, Grammy, watch.
What is that skinny, pointy thing?
- [Grammy] It is called a proboscis. It's a long tube
the butterfly has to help it drink nectar.
- Nectar. That is like flower water and they drink it
with their probusees.
- Proboscis
- Probusess?
- Proboscis.
- Proboscis.
- Exactly right.
- That butterfly drank a lot of nectar with its proboscis.
He must have been really thirsty!
- How about you? Would you like some lemonade?
- Yes, please.
[ice clinking]
Oh, and Mom wanted me to give you these.
Can I open them, Grammy?
- Sure.
- Check out my proboscis.
- Check out mine.
