One day, Pippa spotted a butterfly fluttering by. She wanted to catch it, but the butterfly was too quick.

Pippa decided to sit down and wait for the butterfly to come back. She knew that being patient was important.

After a while, the butterfly returned and landed on a flower next to Pippa. She slowly reached out and gently caught it.

The next day, Pippa's friend, Benny the bunny, asked if she wanted to play a game. Pippa agreed, but Benny was running very fast.

Pippa reminded herself to be patient and started following Benny slowly. She didn't mind being a little bit behind.
