Joanna Kim's "Changing"

In this story, is "This is Marcie the spider"

was a spider. She didn't want to be a spider she wanted to be a butterfly and fly around the clouds so one day she went to see a very wise friend of hers, his name was Gordon. Gordon knew that wanted to be a butterfly and even though Gordon was very wise and knew lots of interesting things, Gordon didn't know how could become a butterfly.

then he remembered that his mother was a cat and turned herself into a rabbit somehow so he said to marcie to go and see His mother Emma.

Emma was getting quite old now and found it hard to remember things. When got to where Emma the Rabbit was sitting she said "Emma, I want to become a Butterfly but I don't know how. If you told me how you became a rabbit then maybe just maybe I could become a butterfly the same way."

" Dear Child, I would tell you if I could remember but I can't, anyway becoming a rabbit was a very silly thing I did if only I could become a cat again. The way people and animals are is lovely and it;s very silly to change yourself into something else because you should be greatful of what you are now," she replied and then she said

"I think I remember now"

"Emma, I have changed my mind, I want to stay a spider, is that alright if I don't change into anything else, will you be upset?"

"No dear, I think I would like you better if you stay a spider"

"Would you like to come to the park to get some lunch?"

"yes I would, Let's go."
