Nilly is an insect baby, known as a nymph.
She wants to be graceful l.
Everything is moving and changing, but Nilly seems to stay the same.
In the water, she realizes there are no other creatures like her.
She eats, hides, eats some more, watches, and wishes.
She lives beneath the water, feels like an ugly ducking, and has the appetite of a hungry caterpillar.
A storm transports Nilly through the air and drops her in a small creek away from her family.
She is tiny without much color.
