How it flew among the flowers!
It came flying to the lily.
The lily said, “Come, beautiful butterfly, come to my sweet blossoms!
Rest on me—I love you, butterfly!
You are so bright and beautiful!”
But the butterfly answered, “When I was a caterpillar, you did not want me.
You would not let me rest on you then.
You said you did not like caterpillars.
You would not let me stay.
Now I will not stay with you.
