Once upon a time ...

... a dragonfly found himself struggling, nearly submerged in a small pond. Just as he thought the sunshine was going down on his short life, two people stopped to look at the little pond. Their eyes fell on the dragonfly, they paused for a second, thinking he was for another life. Then the dragonfly twitched, and struggled, but to no avail. It was just, as he thought he couldn't carry on, that he was lifted out and placed on the grass in the late afternoon sunshine.

The couple walked on. Returning back to the sunny spot twenty minutes later. The dragonfly was still sat just as he was left. One of the couple bent down holding out a finger, the dragon fly crawled on. He was still struggling, his mesh wings saturated with the pond water. Slowly he explored the finger. He cocked his head onto one side, and looked at his saviour. He then cleaned himself, shook his wings and slowly regained his zest for life. He crawled further up the saviours arm and settled on her watch. He paused, and smiled happily for his photo taking, and then with another quick shake of his wings, he flew. High above the treetops.

Goodnight blipperloons, sleep tight xxx
