Green Continued..by MichaelA Story by Michael ReismanFor the sake of fiction, we shall name this frog Freddy. Also
we shall name this caterpillar Cathy. It all began in a pond where he sat on a
lily pad. Freddy noticed the same color green Cathy was wearing as the
caterpillar sat feeding on a milk weed plant nearby. He introduced himself in a
way that only nature has without the use of verbal language. They became good
friends as sometimes she would ride on his back as he hopped about the streams
and into the forest. Each matured and soon realized they were more than just
friends. A first kiss was shared as the young adults became boyfriend and
girlfriend. One day Cathy told Freddy it was time for her to change and soon fly
away. He cried but accepted what needed to be done by her. The love struck frog
watched her break out of the cocoon and fly away that summer. It was about fifty
years later when there was a Halloween party. Some of guests knew each other and
some did not. Two unusual costumes attracted much attention as there was a man
dressed in a frog's costume and woman in a caterpillars costume. Both shared
first prize and were announced to be the winners. All outfits were taken off as
the guests finally saw each other in person. Freddy and Cathy reintroduced
themselves and smiled with a lump in their throats. Both had remembered where
they had been before as now was their second chance. A human kiss was exchanged
and one year later the inevitable happened. Not the usual colors of a bride and
groom, but Freddy and Cathy had their own personal reasons for choosing green.
Maybe it takes time in another life, another body. God works in mysterious ways
where love is concerned. Case in point in a short love story about Freddy and
Cathy.....
