I wrote this as a teenager. It is a short children's piece.
One day in a beautiful garden on a sunny morning, a green shape came slithering by. A yellow, anxious flutter landed on a flower gently. The snake and the butterfly were all alone.
The snake came creeping up to the butterfly, frightening it.
" Please do not leave my dear butterfly, for I would like to chat with you," said the snake flicking its tongue.
" I can not for I am in a hurry," replied the butterfly fluttering its wings.
" Dear butterfly could you spare a moment to chat? I am so lonely," said the snake with tears rolling out of its eyes.
The butterfly felt sorry for the snake and it looked down and said, " Just a minute is all I can spare."
" Thank you dear butterfly," said the snake and with a flick of the snake's tongue the butterfly was gone. Never trust a conniving snake.
