The joy
of Ladybug
The big day finally came. The party day at Gecko's
house.
Mrs. Ladybug was happy. She wanted to be very beautiful.
So, she put a ribbon on her head, a band around her
waist, lots of bracelets on her arms and took a fan to
fan herself.
On the way, she met Mrs. Ant. She couldn't go to the
party because she just moved to a new house and wasn´t
even able to get ready.
Well, this is not a problem, said Mrs. Ladybug.
She took the ribbon from her head and offered it to Mrs.
Ant, who happily decided to go to the party.
Further on, they met Mrs. Spider. She had many expenses
in the month and was unable to prepare herself for the
party.
But Mrs. Ladybug soon found a way. She lent her
bracelets, which looked beautiful in Mrs. Spider.
The three of them, beaming with happiness, were headed
to the party.
A little ahead, they found Caterpillar. Dying of heat.
She felt so hot that she wasn´t on the mood to go to the
Gecko´s party.
Mrs. Ladybug offered her, her fan. And Caterpillar went
there too, very cheerful, fanning herself with the fan,
to the party.
Soon after, they ran into Worm. She confessed that she
didn’t have a good outfit to wear and therefore wouldn’t
go to the party.
There is a way,
said Mrs. Ladybug. And she lent her band which Worm
became elegant.
Finally, they arrived at the party. Mrs. Ladybug was so
happy of joy of the others, that she didn’t even notice
that she had given everything she had put on to make
herself more beautiful.
And at the party, she let this joy to flow through her
eyes, her smile, in everything she said. And that made
her the most beautiful of the party.
Nobody had fun, nor danced more than she did.
It was then that Ladybug discovered that for us to look
beautiful and have fun, we don't need to dress up.
It is enough to have a very happy heart, that its joy
inside makes people beautiful from outside.
