Caterpillar Wisdom

Listen to poem:
"If I were meant to soar up there with you," said the caterpillar to the butterfly, flitting overhead, "and not stay sitting earthbound here instead, I would have been born with wings, and it will be over my body when dead, akin to a murder of crows, before you'll get me up in one of those funny-looking flying things."
