FlyingA Story by DipankarFlash fictionA baby caterpillar was slowly crawling up, its belly
clinging to the bark of a tree. It had no idea that it was eventually meant to
turn into a butterfly. The
caterpillar never found out about flying. One
of the small birds in the tree fell on the ground during its flying lesson. It
hopped around helplessly not knowing how to fly back home. In
a hole in the ground near the tree lived a hungry snake. It watched the little
bird for a while, slithered close to it and then swallowed it up. The
young bird never found out about flying. One
doesn’t know what happened to the snake. Probably
it never found out about flying either. © 2017 DipankarAuthor's Note
