Kipp clung tightly to her front and buried his little face against her pyjamas. Zoe felt a pang of worry. “Meep, I think this is going to be harder than I’d first thought,” she whispered to her friend, who was still sitting on her shoulder. “We’ll try again tomorrow. We’ve got to do everything we can to get Kipp climbing!”

Just a few hours later, Great-Uncle Horace came down to look after Kipp, yawning sleepily. Meep giggled when he saw Great-Uncle Horace’s pyjamas: they were bright orange and covered in little zebras!

“Well well, our little friend looks happy!” he said, beaming at Kipp, who was trying another eucalyptus leaf. “You must have done a splendid job, Zoe. Now, it’s time for you to get some rest. Go and get comfy in your sleeping bag.”

Zoe nodded. This was the latest she had ever stayed up before, and she was feeling really sleepy, although she was sad to leave Kipp when they’d been having so much fun! Great-Uncle Horace seemed to guess what she was thinking, because he added, “Don’t worry, my dear – it will be morning before you know it, and then you’ll see Kipp again.”

Zoe and Meep were both yawning by the time they reached the butterfly room. As Zoe pushed the door open there was a gentle rustling sound, like someone walking through autumn leaves: all the butterflies stirring.

“Sorry! I didn’t mean to wake you up,” Zoe whispered. “We’ll try to be really quiet.”

She left the light off and they tiptoed across to her sleeping bag in the dark, trying not to disturb the butterflies any more. Zoe wriggled inside first, and Meep curled up into a little ball on her pillow. It was warm, cosy and quiet, and they quickly fell asleep with the peaceful fluttering sound of butterfly wings all around them.
