Bubbe Isabella invites many animal guests to spend Sukkot with her, but they are more interested in eating the Sukkah than her lovely lemon cake.

Bubbe Isabella picked two tomatoes and a cucumber, the last of the vegetables in her garden. "It's time to celebrate the end of the harvest," she said to herself. So Bubbe Isabella decided to build a sukkah. It had a grass floor, a roof of branches and leaves, and three walls made from an old garden fence.
On the three walls she hung three pieces of colored cloth: yellow for sunshine, green for rain, and blue for the beautiful sky.
From the branches of her roof she hung apples and grapes, ears of corn, and tiny golden pumpkins.
Inside, she set a little table and two little chairs, and on the table she placed a freshly-baked lemon cake.
"Ah!" she sighed as she sat in her sukkah at last, listening to leaves rustle and crickets sing. "How lovely it is to sit in a sukkah and wait for the stars to wink awake. Now if only I had somebody to share this cake with me!"
She sang a welcoming song. Nobody knocked on her garden fence wall. But down at her feet, something caught her eye.
A fuzzy caterpillar crept along the grassy floor.
"Hello, Mr. Caterpillar!" said Bubbe Isabella. "Would you like some lovely lemon Sukkot cake?"
"No, thank you," squeaked the caterpillar. "I don't eat cake. Grass has always been best for me."
"Well, by all means, help yourself!" said Bubbe Isabella, and the caterpillar did. He munched his way across the floor, and they stayed up together telling jokes and singing songs until the sky was full of stars.
The next night when Bubbe Isabella went into her sukkah, there was the fuzzy caterpillar, waiting for her! But she still had no one to share that cake. So Bubbe Isabella sang her welcoming song again. This time she saw a flicker of wings overhead. She looked up. A moth!
