Summary

Mork is overjoyed with his new pet--a tiny, furry caterpillar he names Bob who "followed" him home. Mindy is lukewarm to Mork's new pet, and Exidor, a self-styled authority on reincarnation, is so convinced that Bob was Abraham Lincoln in another life that Mork builds a log cabin for his pampered pet, a creature that can do more tricks than neighbor Bickley's dog. When Bob appears to be dead, Mork takes him to Mr. Herman's funeral home, and is so offended by what he learns that he takes Bob home to keep in his room forever. Mork is in the doldrums until Mother Nature springs a happy surprise.
