Waterbugs & Dragonflies
There once lived a colony of waterbugs in the bottom of a pond. They scurried happliy about in the muck working & playing. But every once in a while, one of the waterbugs would climb the stem of a lily...going up, up, up until they could not be seen anymore. The waterbug would never come back again. This made the other waterbugs very sad, they could not understand why one of their own would leave and not want to come back. They all made a promise, that the next waterbug to climb the lily stem would come back and tell the others where he had gone. The very next day a waterbug climbed the stem...up, up, up he went. Then he broke the surface of the water and landed on a lilypad. He looked down at himself and could not believe what he saw! He had been transformed, he had four beautiful silver wings and a long, sleek body...he had become a DRAGONFLY!! He flapped his wings and flew through the air. He could not believe what he was seeing, the sun was shinging, the birds were singing, the wind was blowing through the trees. It was amazing, there were many other Dragonflies flying about and he could not believe that he could have ever been happy in the muck in the bottom of the pond. But yet he missed all of the other waterbugs and he remembered his promise to tell them where he had gone. As he dove into the water he realized that he could not return to the bottom of the pond. At first this made him sad, that he could not keep his promise. But then he realized...They will all become Dragonflies one day, and when they do they will understand where he had gone and why he could not return and just how wonderful it is to be a Dragonfly. 
How beautiful was that!? Please share it!! (I'm so happy it was shared with me!)
Hope all is well with everyone!
All my love!
