Early one morning before the man woke the butterfly studied the things that were on the table. It figured out that if it rolled the watch leaning against the bars to the glasses and pipe it would cause a chain reaction which would unlatch the cage door. The idea worked and the door swung open. The butterfly fluttered its wings as fast as it could toward the open window and freedom. At the windowsill the butterfly paused to look out at the beautiful world. The rising sun illuminated its wings like stained glass windows. The butterfly turned for one last look at the old man sleeping in his bed. It knew the old man would be sad when he discovered his friend was gone. After a moment of thought the butterfly flew back to the cage and closed the door.
