"I am a butterfly egg,

I cannot fly or speak,

What others say I don't understand.

I am learning English,

while I am also growing."

Others wonder : "Why does she say her name is Farfalla ?

Why can't she speak

like the rest of the butterfly kids?"

"I'm not sure" one said, "that seems rather strange; maybe she means butterfly, in her very own way."

"I am a caterpillar, after four long weeks of growing into a new physical stage. I still don't speak English, but I do understand !"

She is growing, but she still can't speak. Farfalla she calls herself,

but four wings she still doesn't have.

She is a caterpillar, and against the wind she cannot win.

"I became a pupa, and "Hello" now I say. It took four more weeks, but I made it through the rain. The wind I overcame, hopefully English I'll learn soon and become as strong and as fluent too. "
