Class: IV D
School: “Gheorghe Titeica” Constanta - Romania
Class Teacher: Gabriela Florea
English Teacher: Dorina Sacu
The idea for this mini-book came from a Romanian poem
we studied, entitled „Autumn Rhapsodies”, by George
Toparceanu. We fell in love with this beautiful creature
of nature, so we decided to celebrate it in this way: we
wrote some compositions and poems and we made some
drawings.
THE AMAZING
DRAGONFLY
The Dragonfly Dream
Autumn came in a few days and it was quite warm outside. The pale sun
was still smiling in the sky.
A little graceful dragonfly was flying happily over a field of autumn
flowers. Its body was thirsty for life, like a desert area longing for water. It
didn’t want winter to come and send it to death. But the cold would surely come
and the little dragonfly would be numbed and would dream of flowers and sun. It
would wake up in the spring and would be able to fly again over the endless fields.

The beauty of the dragonfly
The dragonfly is a very special insect.
Its colour is like the rainbow after the rain or like sunlight filtered through the
eyelashes. You can’t tell if it is violet, greenish or golden, you only know that it has thin lines
of iridescent metal.
Its long delicate wings seem to be like the mantle of a knight fighting for justice. Maybe
this is the reason why its English name sounds like a warrior name, because despite its grace
and fragility, it seems to be created for an air fight.
Its flight through the air, like an endless oscillation, it’s like an old ritual, known only
by itself. It makes you wonder if it stops on a leaf or if it continues the journey, because the
dragonfly is tireless.
By its perfection delights and fascinates us at the same time, and among all the insects,
it seems to be the ideal of beauty.
Ioan Bursova
The weird bead
One day, once upon a time, there was a
little girl. She was out to play with her friends.
They were playing “hide and seek”.
Suddenly, they heard something under the
dry leaves. The little girl took the leaves and saw
something like a moving bead. It sounded like a
woodpecker knocking on a tree. She took the weird
bead and went home.
After a few days, the bead started to crack. A tiny graceful dancer took its first breath,
struggling to float in the air. Suddenly, the little girl cried:
- Are you a dragonfly? I’ll call you Lubi!
Lubi had a round body shaped like the sun. It was playful and full of life like the dry
ground of the summer waiting for the rain.
Lubi and the little girl became best friends in the world.

The perfect creation
On a summer day, when I was fishing, a creature like an
airplane sat on my rod. It had four wings, tail like a stick and as
eyes it had some tiny buttons, too big for its head, though. The six
legs, like broken straw, helped it only to land because on the rod it
stayed still. It seemed to be the creation of a bored little child.
When my rod trembled because of a fish, the “toy” opened its
wings and rose up. Then my eyes saw very clearly that it was a
perfect creation of nature. I was impressed by the speed with
which it vanished in the air.

A bizarre insect
In the backyard, between layers of perfumed flowers
of spring, I saw a bizarre insect. Its body, like of sun, flew
like the speed of thought. Now I saw it above the scented
irises, then it was on the right side of the daffodils like colored
buttons. Its graceful flight made her look like a broken ray
of sun carried by the light wind.
I watched it minute after minute, thinking of how
wonderful it was.

Under the young leaf
A graceful little dragonfly Came to sing to me
On a very beautiful day.

Little poems
My dragonfly
Sleep on my hand Let’s run together, Let’s run together,
Let’s dance in the forest,
Enjoying our life, Dreaming again and again
Our happy dream.
Isabella Nicolae
I saw a dragonfly
Flying relentlessly
Joyful and hungry
For the long waited sun.

Sun is up. THE DRAGONFLY
The nature is beautiful
In my garden
A dragonfly is sitting on a flower.
The sun is happy.
Nature loves dragonflies.

Today is a sunny day
All children say “Hey!” I see a dragonfly
Who likes touching the sky. It’s beautiful and coloured
Exactly like a flower. Sparkling in the sun
It is very fun.

The dragonfly
General characterization
Dragonflies have elongated bodies, large multifaceted eyes, six legs and two pairs of
strong transparent wings. They have an extremely good sight.
Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like
flies, bees, ants, and very rarely butterflies. They are usually found around lakes, ponds,
streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic.
Dragonflies are some of the fastest insects in the world. They can fly forwards or
backwards or hover like a helicopter.
Dimensions
Most species of dragonflies in the temperate zones are between 5-8 cm, but the
wingspan of some tropical species may reach 20 cm. The largest known dragonfly had a
wingspan of 74 cm.
Spread
Dragonflies can be found in all temperate and tropical regions of the world, lakes,
ponds and rivers.
