Braggart Butterfly

Soaring swift and high is brave Butterfly, believing really he's lord of the sky; one sunny day, he thinks he is able to bully an actual full-sized eagle who looks to him as a nervous dummy with neither fire nor guts in his tummy, a push over wimpy, vulnerable to assaults and pretty much unable to duck his jab or kick, his straight or cross; and so he boldly flips and flaps across the quiet bird's unperturbed countenance with butterly's daring self-confidence. And when the sky is brightly azure blue, a truly pissed off eagle must make do, flying long and real tired without a snack, with a butterfly in his..burp..stomach!
