THE
BUTTERFLY
![](magicgardentopsmall.jpg)
There was an ugly
caterpillar,
That would do not a thing
but eat,
He thought he was quite
handsome,
Then he saw his defeat.
He met a beautiful
butterfly,
With wings that could
expand,
"I can be like
that!", he shouted,
And ate the leaf in his
hand.

He tried his
best,
He looked real tough,
"No," he
sighed,
This will never be
enough.
He
felt tired one day,
So he took a nap,
Crawled into his pupa,
And shut that little cap.

When
he woke up,
Everything was different,
The sun was shining
bright outside,
And the air smelled of
mint.
He
felt something on his
back,
It was bright and dark
blue,
He had become a
butterfly,
His dream had come true!
