The Caterpillar

My creative take on The Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland amalgamates various childhood stories. A little Alice in Wonderland, throw in some Sinbad and Arabian Nights. As it is too hard to photograph an actual person as a caterpillar, we went in a slightly different direction.

In a minute or two the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and yawned once or twice, and shook itself. Then it got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, ‘One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.
