Once upon a time, in a garden not far from your own backyard, there stood a passion flower plant with bright blossoms and thick beautiful leaves.

And on one of those very leaves, there lay a small transparent egg. Inside that same egg, something very special was growing and waiting to be born.

And on one ordinary day, a not so ordinary caterpillar nibbled his way out. He stretched his small rainbow body in the light of day and suddenly felt a groan in his tummy.

The Rainbow Caterpillar ate the whole green leaf upon which he stood in just one sitting. Feeling satisfied, he decided to embark upon a journey.

On the first day he crawled over a rock and met up with a red ant.
“Hello,” said the Rainbow Caterpillar, “would you like to play with me?”
“I would enjoy that, but I am very busy knitting a sweater at the moment,” responded the red ant. “Maybe tomorrow someone else will have more time to play.”
Sadly, the Rainbow Caterpillar crept away.

On the second day he crawled under a branch and met up with two green grasshoppers.
“Hello,” said the Rainbow Caterpillar, “would you like to play with me?”
“We would enjoy that, but we are very busy painting a fence at the moment,” responded the green grasshoppers. “Maybe tomorrow someone else will have more time to play.”
Sadly, the Rainbow Caterpillar crept away.

On the third day he crawled over a hose and met up with three blue beetles.
“Hello,” said the Rainbow Caterpillar, “would you like to play with me?”
“We would enjoy that, but we are very busy decorating a cake at the moment,” responded the blue beetles. “Maybe tomorrow someone else will have more time to play.”
Sadly, the Rainbow Caterpillar crept away.

On the fourth day he crawled under a rake and met up with four yellow crickets.
“Hello,” said the Rainbow Caterpillar, “would you like to play with me?”
“We would enjoy that, but we are very busy sculpting a statue at the moment,” responded the yellow crickets. “Maybe tomorrow someone else will have more time to play.”
Sadly, the Rainbow Caterpillar crept away.

On the fifth day he crawled over a mushroom and met up with five purple spiders.
“Hello,” said the Rainbow Caterpillar, “would you like to play with me?”
“We would enjoy that, but we are very busy stitching a quilt at the moment,” responded the purple spiders. “Maybe tomorrow someone else will have more time to play.”
Sadly, the Rainbow Caterpillar crept away.

He felt such a terrible loneliness; he slunk down under a daisy and cried himself to sleep.

When the Rainbow Caterpillar awoke, he felt an unusual sensation inside his body and realizing that a great transformation was coming, he began to spin a protective case around himself.

After some time the Rainbow Caterpillar underwent a metamorphosis and emerged from his chrysalis as a stunning Rainbow Butterfly!

As he dried his wings in the warm sunlight, he felt energized and not quite so sad anymore. He felt happy inside and ready for a fresh start. He decided that if no one had time to play with him, then he would just play by himself.

He went straight up in flight; twirling and looping with great enthusiasm. He was having a delightful time playing all by himself.

Then very unexpectedly, just when he was about to take a break, a red spotted ladybug and a black and yellow bee flew in on either side of the Rainbow Butterfly and asked, “Would you like to play with us?”
The Rainbow Butterfly felt elated and with a big smile answered with a resounding, “YES!”

The red spotted ladybug, the black and yellow bee, and the Rainbow Butterfly soared through the air and played to their hearts content.

The End.
