There was once a caterpillar who was a worm like all caterpillars. Everyday she used to climb on her favourite leaf and watch the beautiful butterflies in the morning and glow worms in the night, she loved the butterflies and asked God ” Dear Lord I am just a little black worm can you please make me beautiful , I want to be a butterfly and if you can’t make me a butterfly at least make me a glow worm.

She heard God laughing and saying ” Dear one be patient there will be a time when you spread your wings and fly, Caterpillar got up every morning and said ” Daddy God is it today I will Fly? Is it today Daddy God”?

She heard God saying ” Patience little black one, the time is near” One day after the caterpillar had a good lunch of celery, she felt tired and built herself a beautiful nest she said” Dear Lord I am going to hibernate, please wake me up when Spring comes” So God placed the best orchestra for the caterpillar when she wakes up again, He asked Mr Cricket to play his music, Miss Robin to sing her song and Miss Nightingale to sing along and the winds to blow the flute.

Caterpillar was overjoyed with tears in her eyes she went to sleep, not knowing if she will ever awaken again. But Daddy God watched over her, Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, Suddenly caterpillar felt the sun’s rays on her face, she got up , she thought it was a dream as the divine orchestra conducted by the greatest Conducter Daddy God himself. The music started , the caterpillar pushed and tugged at her nest, as the Robin went tweet, tweet and the cricket did his whistling and the nightingale sang her melodious song, the beautiful butterfly emerged.

God had tears in his eyes, Butterfly did not understand as the forest stood in awe at the most beautiful butterfly. Daddy God said Butterfly go have a look at your reflection in the pond , as butterfly looked she was shocked she asked Daddy God is that me? Is that really me? I was a small insignificant black caterpillar Now I am a butterfly. Daddy God looked at her said” Sweetheart I made you, I watched over you and now you have wings to fly but remember dearest one never have pride, I watched over you and made you into a beautiful Butterfly.”

Caterpillar said ” I love you Daddy God, thank you for watching over me and making me into a beautiful butterfly, I will serve you till I die, Thank you Daddy God , Thank you for the miracle of Metamorphosis “
