A small silkworm lived in a green leafy abode. Despite its humble appearance, it harboured within it a grandiose dream: to become a beautiful butterfly with iridescent wings.
Day after day, the little worm fed devotedly on the tender leaves, striving to grow. His neighbouring worms scoffed at his ambition, saying that he was destined to be a mere cocoon from which silken threads would emerge.
But the little boy was not to be discouraged. When the time came, he began to weave his cocoon with great care, confident that his dream would come true.
After a long lethargy, he finally broke out of his silken prison and emerged transformed into a wonderful and beautiful butterfly.
Soaring into the air with his dazzlingly coloured wings, the once humble worm taught them all that with perseverance and faith, even the smallest can reach the greatest heights.
