Wings of black flapped in the bright sunlight. Two round eyes with blue dots in the centre and yellow around opened and shut, as if to blink in the sunlight.
The eyes blinked and blinked some more. A new Butterfly was born and he wanted to show off his colours to the world. In the dense foliage of various hues of green, the butterfly thought he was the prettiest sight. There was Green and more Green. As he flapped his wings more the eyes opened and shut. The leaves of the Tree swayed gently to the rhythm of the Wind.
Then the Eyes weren’t seen. They vanished.
A green Chameleon walked out of the leaves. His colour changed from green to brown. He was munching. His left eye turned a full circle. He spat.
An Eye drifted down and settled on the ground.
This time It didn’t blink.
(PS: I dont know why I wrote this, but I had to write. I visualised it all evening. It is so bizarre.
Roald Dahl, I bow to you)
