The Beautiful Butterflies in the Garden

 


One sunny morning, a little girl named Lily went to her grandmother’s garden. The garden was full of colorful flowers. Red roses, yellow sunflowers, and purple lavender danced in the wind. The air smelled sweet.

Lily sat on the grass and looked around. Suddenly, she saw something flying. It was a butterfly! Then she saw another one… and another! Many butterflies flew around the flowers.

There were blue butterflies, orange ones, and even a big white butterfly. They looked like flying rainbows. Lily smiled. She had never seen so many butterflies before.

The butterflies flew from flower to flower. They drank nectar with their tiny mouths. Some landed on Lily’s hand. She stayed very still. She was so happy!

Her grandmother came and said, “Butterflies love flowers. They help flowers grow by carrying pollen.”

Lily said, “I love butterflies. They are so pretty and gentle.”

That day, Lily learned about butterflies and nature. She wanted to take care of the garden, so the butterflies would come again.

And every day after that, she visited the garden to see her new butterfly friends.

  The Rabbit and the Hole   Ruby was a bunny. She lived in a hole, deep in the ground. Actually, she was curious about everything outside her hole, but she was too afraid to face new things. She went outside and saw other bunnies were playing happily, but she remembered what her mother said, “Don’t play outside when I’m not at home. It might be dangerous out here.” Finally, she was back to the hole in fear. One day, Ruby wanted to play outside. She went outside her house with her friends and played together, but she forgot about what did her mother say to her. She played until the sun went down. She noticed that her friends already went home and left her alone. She just remembered that she was not allowed to play outside when her mother was not home. She tried to run home immediately. Unfortunately, she lost her way to her home because it was already dark. She cried for help but nobody was there. After a while, one of her friends found her. Then, she went home, accompa...

  Melissa was a quiet girl. She lived in a small family with her mother. Her father passed away a year before. Her mother worked at a clinic. She always went to work in the morning and returned home in the afternoon. Melissa didn’t have any friend to talk to. She spent her time in the garden and played with butterflies or cats. She sometimes read books or novels after school. Melissa usually sat under a mango tree which grew in the garden. An orange cat always slept near her to accompany her reading. Although Melissa was a quiet girl, she was a smart student in the class. She understood all materials given by the teachers. She could compete with other smart students. Surprisingly, she didn’t have any close friend. She preferred to spend her lunch time for reading books in the class.   That was Melissa with her odd behavior.

Fireflies

  When I was a kid, I stayed in a village with my grandparents for two weeks. It was my school holiday. The house was surrounded with rice fields. Every morning, I woke up and felt the fresh air. It was absolutely delighted. In the evening, lots of fireflies flew in those rice fields. They were so beautiful as like small lamps that moved here and there. I enjoyed the moment. My grandfather catched some of them for me and showed me their shape. They are small with ‘the lantern’ on their abdomens. For me, they are unique. They don’t exist in the day time, they only show up in the evening. My grandmother told me that fireflies appear in the evening to attract mates. They also warn predators that they are poisonous. Wow … they are genius. When I returned to town, I didn’t find fireflies anymore. I’ve missed them until today. Their beautiful lanterns made me calm.  I don’t know when I will find fireflies again when many rice fields have been turned into houses.
