The Monacrh Butterly and The Frog

(Aug 23, 2015)

Once upon a time there was a Monarch Butterfly & Froggie,
the Butterfly thought he was sneaking up, on Froggie but all
the while, Mr Froggie was watching its stealthy approach!  :o)

'butterfly tip-toed towards the frog'

'bravely butterfly eadged closer & closer to Mr froggie'

'butterfly thought, "I'll flatten my wings, so froggie can't see me", as butterfly inched closer and closer!'
(of course the Monarch was very careful not to get in front of Mr Froggie, as he had a very long sticky tongue...)

a

The Monarch butterfly, now being as close to Mr Froggie as he dared,
'SUDDENLY, raised his wings up and said "BOOOO!", in its own butterfly way, but Mr Froggie didn't budge?
and for that matter, didn't even blink his eyes, Ummmm! thought the Monarch, and then slowly extended its
long two front  feelers out towards the Frog, what happened next, I will leave that to your imagination...

Well ok, so your not sad, Butterfly did survive his little 'game' of bravery, this time!
