Once upon a time, there was a small caterpillar named Crawly. Crawly loved to cry and laugh at the same time, it was a strange habit but it made him happy. One day, he saw a big butterfly flying fast in the sky and he wanted to be just like her.
He started to spin a cocoon around himself and soon he became a butterfly too. But when he tried to fly, he realized he was flying too slow. He cried because he wanted to fly fast like the big butterfly.
The big butterfly saw Crawly crying and flew down to him. She told him, "Don't worry Crawly, flying slow is better than not flying at all. Enjoy the journey, not just the destination."
Crawly thought about it and decided to give it a try. He started to fly slow and soon he realized that there was so much to see and enjoy. He laughed and had the best time of his life.
From then on, Crawly learned to appreciate both the short and the long, the fast and the slow, and to always find joy in every moment.
