One warm and windy spring 

morning a group of tiny fuzzy brown seeds flew by 

high across in the sky. 

Along their journey they flew past a beautiful 

flower garden with brightly colored blooms. 

As they whirled by, one little seed named Stanley 

wished that one day he would be as beautiful as 

those flowers.

After traveling for such a long time the seeds 

finally landed in a patch a soft brown soil. They 

tucked themselves in and rested.

When the little seeds awoke from their rest they 

found that they were now tiny little plants. Stanley 

was very excited!

As Stanley grew he thought, "I will be the tallest 

and the most beautiful flower ever!".

Stanley and the other plants grew taller and taller, 

but no blooms.

Stanley kept growing taller and taller, but 

still no beautiful blooms. He was becoming a 

little sad until....

Finally, Stanley and his friends began to 

bloom. "Oh look at my beautiful orange and 

yellow flowers!", Stanley said with such 

relief. 

They were all so bright and beautiful that soon 

they began having visitors.

"Who are you?", ask Stanley. "We are the Monarch 

butterflies.", said one of the graceful insects. Then 

she ask, "Don't you know who you are?". 

"Oh yes, I'm a flower.", answered Stanley.

"You are not JUST any flower! You are a 

Milkweed plant! You are the most important 

plant to the Monarch's! We would not be able 

survive without you!", said the butterfly.

Stanley and the other Milkweed plants felt so 

special and were so excited! They watched as the 

Monarch's would come and eat nectar from their 

blooms.

Then one day Stanley noticed something odd on 

his leaves. "What are all these tiny white dots 

on my leaves?", he said.

"Stanley", said one of the Monarch's. "These are 

our little Monarch eggs. We need you to please 

watch over and care for our baby egg's."

Stanley watched carefully over the eggs until one 

day a teny tiny little squiggley thing came out of 

the egg.

"You are not a butterfly." Stanley said very 

disappointed. 

"Of course not, I'm a Monarch caterpillar! 

"And I'm so very hungry!" said the little caterpillar. 

Soon all the eggs hatched with tiny little hungry 

Monarch caterpillars.

They all started munching on Stanley. 

"Why are you snacking on me?", said Stanley. 

"Because you are what we love to eat!", said the 

little caterpillars. "That's what makes you so 

special to us!"
