惊险的旅行。大家好！我是一只蝴蝶，由于飞起来很像一片枯萎的树叶，因此，人们叫我枯叶蝶。哎！真倒霉，今天我出来觅食，发现下雨了，挣扎着飞到一间教室的窗子旁，发现几十个小孩坐在桌子旁，有一个老师在黑板前叽叽呱呱地讲着一些东西，我听了一会，很不得要领，但教室内温暖如春，太吸引虫了。我按捺不住，飞进了教室里，在一个男孩头上盘旋几圈，可惜，只有几个人注意到我。一个男孩对同桌说：看！飞蛾！我气坏了，真想狂扁他一顿：我是蝴蝶耶！这个男孩不时地注意到我，这时，老师说：陈亮，出去！哈！原来这个男孩叫陈亮啊！，没有几分钟，他又回来了。他对同桌说：该死的飞蛾！我下课要把它打死！我不以为然地想：你能抓到我吗？下课了，他拿把尺子来戳我，可惜它太短了，后来，一个戴眼镜的男生拿尺子刺破了我的翅膀，我掉了下来，他赶忙把我扔出去，旁边那个浓眉大眼的男孩慌忙把窗子关起来。
