                            Fluffy's Trip to Sky

Fluffy was a young butterfly just transformed from caterpillar. Fluffy was very excited with her wings and the new colourful form. The flowers smiled at her and said, "Hello, young Fluffy how do you do?" Fluffy replied, "I'm fine. Nice to meet you all." She kept flying from one flower to another. Seeing this an old bug asked, "Where are you going?" Fluffy replied, "I want to fly high, very high." Pointing upward  she continued, "Up there. upto the sky."
             The old bug laughed, "O ho! You are a crazy little one, Ha! Ha!" Fluffy tried hard and reached a tree top. There she met an eagle. The eagle asked, "Where are you upto dear? Fluffy replied, "I want to fly upto the sky." The wise eagle smiled lovingly and said, "My dear, your wings anr not strong enough to carry you there." Fluffy asked eagerly, "You seem to be strong enough. Have you been there? What does it look like there?" Wise eagle replied, "Yes, I often fly there. Everything from there seem very very small. And there are clouds." "Clouds? What are they?" asked Fluffy. "Yes, clouds, which cause rain." explained wise eagle.
                After a short rest, Fluffy started off again. She tried to fly as high as she could. She looked down and everything was very small. She was thrilled. But actually she was over a barren land, where there was no vegetation or inhabitants. Suddenly it began to drizzle. Fluffy remembered wise eagle's words that in the sky there are clouds which cause rain. She cried happily, "Hurray! at last I have reached the sky.
               She then happily returned home where she proudly narrated her courageous trip to young caterpillars. All of them were so impressed that they could only say, "We too will fly upto the sky when we grow up."
