From How the Butterfly Lost his Bad Temper

The bad-tempered butterfly, never one to beat about the bush, demanded ‘Yes? Come on! What is it I have? Or shall I spell it out to you, save us all a lot of time? I look at you, oh dull and heavy creature – condemned to a life of sliding along the earth, never rising so much as a millimetre off the ground. And then I look at me!  I can fly amongst the highest plants, sample the sweetest nectar; rejoice in the sun’s rays, highlighting each and every one of my own glorious colours!’

At which point that bad-tempered butterfly paused, quite suddenly; and didn’t move an inch – something unheard of for him.

And then, just as suddenly, that bad-tempered butterfly let out a great cry of joy, followed by these words.

‘Wow! My life is indeed amazing! I can fly! I have sunshine in my wings! I ..’

But at that point the bad-tempered butterfly’s expression changed from total delight to …. Well, something closely akin to sadness.

‘Forgive me. I can’t help but look at you and think – you have, well, nothing’.

At which the snail grinned broadly – from one side of his little grey head to the other.

‘On the contrary! I have everything. You see, my happiness lies on the inside, observing what is on the outside. I look at you and I see an awesome creature – one of the planet’s most beautiful. But does that make me feel inferior and sad? On the contrary! I rejoice that I am lucky enough to behold such beauty.’
