CHESTNUT ESL/EFL

• We all need air, water, food, and shelter.
• You should never judge a butterfly by its chrysalis – the beauty inside all of us is far greater than our beauty on the outside.
• We come in many colors – all of them beautiful!
• We all come in different sizes.
• Even if you’re challenged you can soar (we had a butterfly with three wings fly off, to our delight!).
• We don’t all develop at the same rate. It may take you a little longer to get there, but you can still reach the same great heights!
• Nature has a grand plan – we need to respect it. Butterflies lay their eggs on what are considered to be weeds. The caterpillars will eat the weeds, keeping them from getting out of control. No weeds – NO butterflies!
• It’s important to take time to smell the flowers – it could just be the nectar of your life!
