Once upon a time there was a little green caterpillar named Scarlet.
Scarlet was very happy living in the green meadow munching on
leaves and taking naps in the warm afternoon sun.

One day, when Scarlet had slowly
inched her way to a nearby grove
of trees, she spied a beautiful
butterfly perched upon a fence.

Scarlet was curious about the butterfly so she began to inch
closer. "Hello. My name is Scarlet. I am a caterpillar. I
live in the meadow. What's your name?"

"My name is Iris. I am a butterfly. I live
in the big, blue sky. I flutter
hither and yon all day long. But my home was
once in the meadow, too."

Suddenly, Iris took flight and said,
"You too shall one day call the big, blue
skies your home. It is almost your time to
to prepare your chrysalis and then become
something brand new."

Scarlet was shocked. She called
to Iris in a scared voice, "But HOW
will I know what to do? Will
I know HOW to become a butterfly?"
Iris replied in a soothing voice,
"You will know what to do. I
promise. Don't be scared, Scarlet."

Scarlet felt alone, small, and
a little scared. But she
thought about what the butterfly
told her and she felt a little
better. Besides, Scarlet felt she
had something really important to
do, so she began searching for
a sturdy tree to climb.

After deciding on a safe spot, Scarlet
instinctively began to weave a
chrysalis around her body to
protect her while she was
busy becoming something brand new.
Scarlet felt much less scared now as she
was concentrating on building
the home she would live in for the
next 10 days.
