Summer
About Summer
Caterpillars dance into flowers and come out as butterflies, which pollinate the blooms and then bother a walking stick. The stick dances, falls into a river, and a dragonfly passes with two ladybirds. Two dung beetles lose their ball; it hits a tree and bursts into dancing insects. Flies play leapfrog with a spider, which eats them, dances on its web, and is crushed when the tree the web is tied to falls.
