Page 1This is a thread. Not just any thread — a silk thread, soft and shining. It began inside a little silkworm, on a wide green leaf.
Page 2The thread knew one thing about itself: it was one long line, and it loved to wind.
Page 3Out it came, from just beneath the silkworm's head — soft and wet at first. Then, in the open air, firm and fine and bright.
