Caterpillar Bread

Overview

The cute caterpillar bread is made to attract children. My son ate too much ordinary bread and didn't catch a cold. Now it is made into a cute caterpillar shape. Coupled with the softness and sweetness of the bread, my son can't put it down. It has become my family's favorite bread. Let me introduce to you the story of a caterpillar: The caterpillar was born ugly and was not liked by animals. However, the caterpillar never lost the courage to live. It was always full of hope for the future life. One day he had a dream, dreaming that he turned into a beautiful butterfly dancing in the sky. When he woke up, he wanted to make this dream come true. So it worked hard to spin silk to surround itself. Many insects persuaded it that this was impossible, but it was very persistent and wanted to realize this dream. It becomes a cocoon when you are constantly exhausted. In the cocoon, it was miserable being in the dark with no food, but it kept persevering. The insects thought it was dead and came to mourn it. Then a miracle happened. The caterpillar's chrysalis split open and a beautiful big butterfly flew out. The big butterfly flew to the top of the mountain, and the caterpillar realized its dream through its own efforts...
