The Lion & butterfly

 We have been studying fables and writing our own version of one of them. Then we made a ripped paper collage to illustrate our story. Hope you enjoy my fable.

A lion came upon a butterfly straying from the garden and didn't want to take the life of such a helpless

creature without a good excuse.

So the lion said, “You are the butterfly who insulted me last year.”

“I couldn’t have, for I wasn't even born then,” said the butterfly.

 Well said the lion,  “You eat from my jungle.” 

“That cannot be replied to by the butterfly,  for I have never yet tasted meat.” 

“You drink from my river, then!” continued the lion.

“I have not been eating anything but my mother’s nectar.” 

“Well,  anyhow,” said the lion, “I'm not going without my dinner!”

 and he sprang upon the butterfly and swallowed it without  another word!
