[Clark](ZTW9N3RJ) expected every day to be a great day, but when he woke up and climbed out of his bed, he didn’t know that today would be very exciting!

After he ate his breakfast and washed his hands and face, he ran to the back door and said, 'Outside, please Mommy.'

His mom opened the door, and the first thing [Clark](ZTW9N3RJ) saw was something really creepy on the screen.

He slowly opened the screen door and went outside to get a good look.

He stood on his tiptoes and poked at it with his finger. It didn’t move.

He pulled on it, and it popped off of the screen. Still, the creepy thing didn’t move.

‘What is this?’ [Clark](ZTW9N3RJ) asked his Mommy.

‘It’s the shell of a cicada. Those are the bugs that make the humming noise in the evenings. Cicadas shed their exterior when they grow up,’ said Mommy.

[Clark](ZTW9N3RJ) showed it to [Amelia](PRND7THF), and after some debate, they decided [Clark](ZTW9N3RJ) should squash it. He closed his fist, and they heard the shell crack into a million pieces!

[Clark](ZTW9N3RJ) brushed off his hands and ran to the swing, where [Amelia](PRND7THF) helped push him high into the clouds. Another great day—and it was still morning!
