The Dragonfly
One beautiful morning Dragonfly crawled out of her cocoon into the glorious sun. She looked around and everything she saw was beautiful. Dragonfly stretched out her marvellous wings and began to fly. She loved everything she saw. She flew down amongst the pretty flowers, she flew up amongst the tall trees. Everywhere she looked she saw something beautiful. “Wow! Thank you God for this wonderful world!” she laughed happily to herself. Suddenly the bright fluffy clouds caught her eye and Dragonfly soared up to play in them. She swooped and dived, in and out, laughing happily to herself.
After a while Dragonfly noticed a forest and she flew down to have a closer look. Inside that forest was a wooden hut with a man inside cooking dinner. Dragonfly peered in the window and flew inside to get a closer look. She flew around the whole house. “This is a really beautiful place!” she thought to herself for Dragonfly had never seen a house before. Eventually she flew back into the kitchen as the man was going upstairs. She looked down at the bowl he had been beating eggs in and she saw the white fluffy mixture inside. “Ah! its like the white things in the sky!” she giggled and she dived into the bowl.
But though egg whites are soft and fluffy they are also very sticky. Dragonfly was trapped! “Oh No!” she cried. She tried to free herself. She struggled and struggled and struggled but it was no use. Dragonfly was stuck. She flapped and flapped her wings. She was getting more and more tired. Finally she asked God “Please help me! I will be kind and sweet and I will help everyone I meet if you just help me get out of here now”.
Just at that very moment the man came back and flicked Dragonfly out of his cooking. She went flying through the air, out of the house and out of the window. She landed on the grass outside.
“Thank you God, Thank you!” She exclaimed “Thank you for saving me, I am so happy. I will help you and be good and kind, but I am very tired now, so I promise I will start first thing tomorrow morning”. And with that, Dragonfly lay down to sleep.
But when the next day came Dragonfly never woke up. She lay still on the grass. She had died in the night because dragonflies only live for one day.
The moral of the story: Always keep your promises to God because you never know what will happen tomorrow.
