creep, creep slowly from beneath the
silken blankets, putting his head out
first, and last of all his whole body.
What a surprise he was to himself!
Instead of the rough fur coat he once
used to wear, he was dressed in the
finest velvet suit ever seen. Instead
of ten feet, he had six active little
limbs, and on his shoulders were
pair of elegant wings dotted all over
with gold, and bordered with black
and yellow.
His eyes were like diamonds, so
clear and bright that he could see as
he had never before seen, far over the
grass covered fields and blossoming
woods.
He spreads his wings, so dazzling
bright, and fitted from flower to
flower the whole day long, slipping
whence er he chose the delicious honey
dew from the sweet-scented blossoms,
and when nightfall drew nigh he
quietly folded his delicate wings and
dropped to rest in lily cup, famed
by the little zephyr that rocked it to
and fro.
How glad he was then that he had
listened to the fairy Whisper. How
happy that he had tried to do in the
best way every thing it had hidden.
Happy, too, that he had once been
contented little brown caterpillar,
and that he was able, at this joyous
Easter time, to rise from his long
cocoon-sleep lovely, lovely butter
fly. NELLIE G. ALEXANDER.
