Los cuentos de Tinga Tinga — Season 1, Episode 22: Why Caterpillar is Never in a Hurry

Episode synopsis

You see Caterpillar was never in a hurry. When all the animals were racing around Tinga Tinga getting ready for the best-dressed parade, Caterpillar was happy to sit in a tree and munch on leaves saying 'Po-le, po-le, slowly, slowly, good things come to those who wait'. Then one day the rains came and Caterpillar disappeared into a cocoon. 'What's happening?' questioned Elephant. 'Wait and see' said Tortoise wisely, 'Wait and See'. Then Caterpillar transformed into the most beautiful butterfly ever! But who won the best-dressed parade?
