My sweet little caterpillars. Oscar and Alphonse is their names. I’ve had them since I was 6. But now it is their prime time and they had to go. 13 year old Lucy went went out into the backyard. It’s where she first found them and took care of them. She knew it was time to send them back. The caterpillars softly wiggled in her hand spelling out”goodbye”.
She carefully place them on the tree she first found them on. Her eyes filled with tears she was trying to hold back.”I’m gonna miss you two. You were the greatest things that ever happened to me”she said as she was crying. The two caterpillars went into the small finger sized hole in the tree. ”Oscar, will we ever see her again?”said Alphonse.
“In time she will remember us. She watched us grow up from birth and she let us go at old age. We should bloom now for her future hope.”said Oscar. They crawled out of their hole and back into Lucy’s hand. She looked up and smiled. ”What do you need now?”she asked. Their fuzz changed into an orange color and became hard.
After 7 seconds two green butterflies emerged from the cocoons. They flew up into each ears and softly whispered “We will always love you Lucy. Tak
e care of them for us.” And in each hands were 3 caterpillar eggs.”I will take care. I promise.”she said.
