The Butterfly and the Caterpillar
an adaptation by Joseph Lauren

One summer morning, a butterfly rested on a

beautiful rose. While she sipped the sweet
nectar from the flower, she saw a caterpillar
crawl up the garden wall.
Horrors! the butterfly exclaimed, Stop! Dont
come near me. Im ashamed to be seen where
you are.

Ask: Why do you think was the

butterfly ashamed?

The caterpillar continued crawling. He

munched on the leaf without listening to
the butterflys cry.
Where are your wings? What are you eating?
the butterfly asked.

Ask: Does the caterpillar have

wings? If he has as the butterfly
claimed then, where are they?
The caterpillar walked ahead. Then he said,
Eight days ago, young butterfly, you were the
same as I am. One night from today, my wings

will grow. I would fly and see all the bright and
beautiful flowers.

Ask: How did the butterfly looks

like eight days ago?

Im sure my wings would be brighter and more

beautiful than yours.
So, go, fly but try not to be so proud. Each
caterpillar is given a chance to become a
butterfly. We are but the same.

What will happen to caterpillar in the

days to come? What should all
butterflies need to remember while
flying?
