about this story

Henry was a lonely bug because of the noises Henry made; people highly disliked him. He did not blend well into his surroundings, where he lived near a fountain in the city. Henry had seen many humans squash bugs that looked like him, and people were scared of the noises he would make and swat at him while he flew. Henry lived in the middle of the city near a beautiful wall that he would visit every day just to see the colors. In the city, there were not such vibrant colors. Henry didn't always live in the city, he previously lived with his brothers and sisters in a beautiful mountain desert area that his shell matched, but as he got older, he was curious about other places and wanted to venture out. Henry missed his old home but was not sure how to get back. The best part of city life was the plants in the park, where he slept every night. His favorite was a green flower that he made in his house. It smelled so lovely his feelers twitched and had all different leaves for him to live in and make a beautifully warm home. There was nothing like this plant back where his family lived. Henry wished to bring these plants back to the mountains for his brothers and sisters. Though Henry missed his family and would never return, he turned this strange city into his home, and though the humans did not like him, he developed a great life amongst the beautiful art, the green plant he called home, and the fountain that make wonderful sounds as he flew through his park.
