Good Guys

He was playing outside, watering the flowers when he saw a little caterpillar and rescued it from the puddle where it was stuck. 
He held it in his tiny hand and set the caterpillar down on the stone next to him.
The caterpillar curled up in a ball -and wouldn't budge. The Boy asked why it wouldn't look at him. 
I explained that it wasn't sure about us -since we're so big and he's so small...
The Boy bent down and whispered to the caterpillar, "It's okay - we're the good guys".
