Read the excerpt from "The Caterpillar and the Butterfly.”In the same garden were many other vegetables, and towering far above them all were some giant plum trees.

Her neighbors said she was very far-sighted and called her clever, but the ants and beetles which lived in the garden knew that she was dull, because she spent hours each day poring over stupid books, while the most wonderful things were happening all around her, under her very nose, as it were, or rather, I should say, perhaps, under her very feet—things far more interesting than her books could possibly have been.
