The young black woman at the bus stop had a pleasant smile, I thought. She pointed to a rather drab looking caterpillar on the pathway of the bus. "A sure loser ! " I thought.
I tore off a piece of the Providence Journal. The caterpillar crawled over it. I left the creature on the grass, a safe distance from the road.
" Now it has a chance to become a butterfly, " I said.
" Yea", said the black girl, " then it can fly over the road! ".
This scene was at the Lincoln campus of the Community College of Rhode Island.
