This story seems incredible but is true. Two friends of mine were one day walking through a park in the West Midlands, when they came, as one does, to a park bench. One of them looked down and saw a caterpillar and for some reason his attention became locked upon that small creature making its way along the bench. They both stopped, as they obviously did not have much to do that day, and watched the caterpillar.
The creature walked along the bench or crawled (whatever caterpillars do) and would stop, turn around and go back again and they became fascinated with what they saw. They started to make noises and their excited words started to attract attention from people passing by. Eventually a lady hearing them being so clearly excited came over and said, ‘What are you looking at?” They said, “The caterpillar!” Her response was, “Is that all.” and she picked up the caterpillar and hurled it into the lake.
