Book Cover & Preview Text
FLYING DREAMS The warm, early morning sun was drying the dewdrops hanging from the green leaves of the garden plants, when Sago, the big, fat, green caterpillar with yellow speckles all along his back, woke up with a yawn. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes with two of his feet, and sat up to view the new day. Making sure that there were no hungry birds with sharp, pointed beaks anywhere in his vicinity, he crawled to the edge of the leaf that he had been sleeping on, and began to chew and eat.
While his powerful, especially designed, sharp jaws were busy cutting into the leaf, his little mind was thinking about flying. He had been dreaming about flying for quite a time now; strong, vivid, full-colour dreams where he was skimming over the tops of flowers, and even tall trees, with all the grace and ease of a butterfly. Sago liked these dreams, always feeling a bit disappointed that when he woke up, he had to crawl around once more, instead of effortlessly flying.
When he talked about this with other caterpillars, they always laughed at him. “Don't be silly, Sago. Caterpillars do not fly,” they laughed, “whatever will you dream about next?” But Sago could not stop thinking about flying. He had wanted to fly for such a long time, and all he could manage was to dream about it. Long before his dreams began, he had secretly longed to fly. Often he would hide among the leaves of his favourite tall plants, and watch the butterflies skimming so light and free over the flowers. His little heart ached with envy and longing.
