land.

A group of dragon-flies were bustling about on their gaudy purple wings, intercepting the flight of

a lone black bee or butterfly in search of sweetness from the flowers. The child followed them in the

air with his gaze, till one of them would still its wings and rest, and he would try to catch it. but it

would go fluttering, flapping, up into the air, when he had almost caught it in his hands. Then his

mother gave a cautionary call:”Come, child, come, come on to the footpath’’.
