cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveler. But the harder he blew the more closely

Three Butterflies Story


Once upon a time there was a beautiful garden. In this beautiful garden lived three
beautiful butterflies. One was red, another yellow and the third white. Every day the
three danced and played together in the garden and they were very happy. One day they
were playing in the garden again when suddenly it started to rain. They flew to a red
flower and said to the red flower: “Red flower, we are caught in the rain. Our wings are
red and we are so cold. So, would you please let us stay under your petals?
The red flower says to the red butterfly: “You have the same color as me.” So, you can
come in and you two can’t! The butterflies said together: “We are good friends and we
will never part. We meet and we go together! It’s raining harder. They flew towards the
yellow flower. The yellow flower says to the yellow butterfly: “You have the same color
as me. So, you can come, and you two can’t! The butterflies said together: “We are good
friends and we will never part. We meet and we go together! At the white flower again,
the same thing happened and again the butterflies said together, “We are good friends
and we will never part.”
We meet and we go together! The three butterflies were flying in the rain. They might
find a place to shelter from the rain. But none of them would want to leave their friends.
Then the sun saw them from the clouds. After seeing them, he chased the clouds away
and immediately the rain stopped. It was sunny again. The butterfly’s three wings
became dry in the sun. They were happy and started playing happily again.
