When everywhere there's snow.
"But by and by, in the spring-time,
How happy you will be!
For you will wake and find yourself
A butterfly like me!
"Then work on, crawling little thing,"
Whispered the butterfly,
"For winter's coming very fast,
And so good-by, good-by."
The little caterpillar thought: "How could I possibly turn into a butterfly? I have seen other caterpillars tie themselves to twigs, but they always seemed very foolish to me."
