    The Rose & the Butterfly

    Butterfly once fell in love with a beautiful


    Rose. The Rose was not indifferent, for
    the Butterfly's wings were powdered in a
    charming pattern of gold and silver. And

    took a tender leave of his sweetheart.

    But alas! It was a long time before he


    came back to her.

    "Is this your constancy?" she


    exclaimed tearfully. "It is ages since you
    went away, and all the time, you have
    been carrying on with all sorts of flowers.
    I saw you kiss Miss Geranium, and you
    fluttered around Miss Mignonette until
    Honey Bee chased you away. I wish he had
    stung you!"

    "Constancy!" laughed the Butterfly. "I


    had no sooner left you than I saw Zephyr
    kissing you. You carried on scandalously
    with Mr. Bumble Bee and you made eyes at
    every single Bug you could see. You can't
    expect any constancy from me!"

    Do not expect constancy in others if you have none


    yourself.
