THE RIrTTERFLY'S SPOTS.

On, day a butterfly flew into 700;
over 20 bushes and shrubs she went, and
before she knew il she was IN that part oi
the ZOO where all the wild animals live.
This butterfly was not as gorgeousiy
dressed as most of her sisters wero, ana
she had often wished she could have
pailv colored gown When she went to the
fairy who painted the butterflies wings
she could never choose her colors, and SO
that was the reason she wore PLAIN yell
low dress, with no trimmings at all.
From one place to another she iiew'
