    Professor Wigglebottom strolled into the lively classroom, his magnifying glass gleaming. He was known for his eccentric teaching methods and his infectious humor.

    Today was no different. He started the class with an unusual question, 'How many hairs do you think are on a caterpillar?' The class burst into laughter.

    Leading the children to the school garden, Professor Wigglebottom pointed to a caterpillar. 'Let's find out,' he declared, twirling his magnifying glass.

    Back in the classroom, Professor Wigglebottom had the children form groups. Each one was given a magnifying glass and a notepad.

    'Your mission is to observe and draw the caterpillar, and estimate how many hairs it has,' he instructed, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

    Professor Wigglebottom, with his hearty laugh, appreciated each presentation. 'Every estimate is correct because we all observe differently,' he explained.
