There was once a caterpillar and a rose.

The rose was under the trunk of a large tree, and he daily mocked the caterpillar and called her ugly.

The

caterpillar those ask the

got moon

sadder and if

every every

time night be

she she as

heard would

comments,

she

could

beautiful as her, but it seemed that the moon was not listening.

The rose mocked her increasingly and got the others roses to do it too. The rose felt

protected by the leafy tree that made her look makeup more for beautiful her, but because it it was hided like her, really

because in reality she and the other roses were so empty inside, dealing only with what the caterpillar did.

As the days passed, the birds also mocked the caterpillar, since they were free, they could

fly high, and everyone admired their beauty. The caterpillar also admired them, and felt sad because those words hurt her.

Months

passed

and

the

caterpillar

became

increasingly sad, crying more and more, but one day, something wonderful happened: the

caterpillar had left her cocoon to become a beautiful butterfly.

The caterpillar could fly as far as the birds could, be as beautiful as the roses, and she was happy because she never lost her hope. She was always beautiful inside, but now she was beautiful outside too. That's how the

beautiful butterfly flew high while watching from afar the rotten roses and their petals, once so beautiful and now withered. THE END
