 illdren."

" Get them honey from the flowers. 



" Do not let them fly about too much at first. 



" What a pity it is that you cannot fly 

 yourself.

 nurse. 



" Dear ! why did I lay my eggs on a cabbage 

 leaf? 



" But you will be kind to my poor little ones.

" Remember the food, Caterpillar." 



With these words, the Butterfly died.
