This, O my best-beloved, is a story quite different from the other stories-a story about the Most Wise Sovereign Suleiman-bin-Daoud-Solomon the Son of David.

There are three hundred and fifty-five stories about Suleiman-bin-Daoud; but this is not one of them…. It is not the story of the Glass Pavement, or the Ruby with the Crooked Hole, or the Gold Bars of Balkis. It is the story of the Butterfly that Stamped. Now attend all over again and listen!

“The Butterfly That Stamped,” from Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling
