==References == | <p> While [[I]] was walking in the garden one bright morning, a breeze came through and set all the flowers and leaves a fluttering. Now that is the way flowers talk, so [[I]] pricked up my ears and listened. </p> <p> Presently, an old elder tree said, Flowers, shake off your caterpillars!' </p> <p> 'Why?' said a dozen altogether: for they were like some children, who always say 'Why,' when they are told to do anything: bad children those! </p> <p> The elder said, 'If you don't, they'll eat you up alive.' </p> <p> So the flowers set themselves a shaking till the caterpillars were shaken off. </p> <p> In one of the middle beds there was a beautiful rose, who shook off all but one, and she said to herself 'Oh, that's a beauty! I'll keep that one.' </p> <p> The elder overheard her, and called out, 'One caterpillar is enough to spoil you.' </p> <p> 'But,' said the rose, 'look at his brown and crimson fur, and his beautiful black eyes, and scores of little feet; [[I]] want to keep him; surely one won't hurt me.' </p> <p> [[A]] few mornings after, [[I]] passed the rose again; there was not a whole leaf on her; her beauty was gone; she was all but killed, and had only life enough to weep over her folly, while the tears stood like dew-drops on her tattered leaves. </p> <p> 'Alas! [[I]] didn't think one caterpillar would ruin me.': [[C.]] [[A.]] Davis. </p> | ||
