Short story alert:
There once was a ladybug who didn’t know what to do, for
she got caught inside of an old dreadful shoe. She tried to climb up the inside
of the shoe but she couldn’t figure out just what to do. She thought maybe if
she went to the dark end of the shoe she’d find her way out, but no such luck.
She sat there in the dark thinking how will I ever get out? As she was thinking
she seen the light at the other end of that dreadful old shoe. So, she started
crawling back towards the light. Once she reached the back end of that shoe she
crawled up and made her way to the top of the shoe. She finally figured out
just what to do. She opened her wings and started to fly up high towards the
sky! THE END.
