If Only I Could Fly

Once upon a time in a place called Caterpillar Village, there lived a caterpillar named Mucus. He was quiet and very shy; he was no ordinary caterpillar. None of the other fellow caterpillars really liked him very much just because one of his legs were uneven. He would not participate in any of the activities because he was too slow and simply couldn’t keep up with his classmates. Mucus, however, has a goal and his goal is to one day graduate from Caterpillar Village and become a butterfly.

But as each day went by he would find himself constantly teased and mocked for limping when he walked. Several classmates questioned Mucus why would you even think of ever graduating with us? Your dream to become a butterfly is worthless. You might as well give up and drop out of school! The truth is in the future while I’m attending the finest flying schools there is you’ll still be here crawling amongst the land just as you are; a worm. A pathetic waste life. I shouldn’t even be wasting my breath but I do enjoy seeing that depressing look on your face. When I leave Caterpillar Village, I’ll have this moment to remember you by. This moment that I made you cry like the baby that you are. Muahaha! said another caterpillar classmate.

Mucus would become very angry and very sad. He would not go to school all because of the shame and embarrassment he’d come to face with
