Jimmy.—You are not talking to me, butterfly, are you?
Butterfly.—Yes, fly, I am talking to you.
Jimmy.—But I am not a fly, butterfly: I am a boy, a Jimmy.
Butterfly.—You are a fly, and this will prove it. Can a boy hear butterfly-talk, and know the meaning of it?
Jimmy.—But if I were a fly, butterfly, I could fly.
Butterfly.—So you can fly, fly. Flap, and try!
“He flapped in his dream, flew up, then flew down.”
Jimmy.—But if I were a fly, butterfly, I could crawl on the wall.
Butterfly.—You can. Flap again, fly; fly to the wall, and crawl!
“He flapped in his dream, flew to the wall, and crawled.”
