The Little Butterfly
('The Little Butterfly' is an adaptation to a Hindi short story 'Chhoti Titli' written by Dr.Suresh Panth. It is a
story about a butterfly who wanders around in a lonely garden wanting to be
playful and looking for a friend)
Once there lived a lovely little butterfly in a lush green flower garden. She used to flutter from one flower to another throughout the day. Sometimes lived on one flower and then sometimes she danced on another flower. The little butterfly lived alone in the entire garden, it used to run around here, there and everywhere. She was never ever tired.

She was never ever tired.
Its feathers were coloured with red-yellow feathers that seemed even
more beautiful on that little butterfly. There were also many colours on its
wings. Whenever she takes rest on the flowers, the colour of her feathers would settle
with the colour of the flowers. She had two antennae on her head, which was the
medium to her touch sensation through which she could always feel the things in
and around her.

The butterfly liked the garden very much, as it was her home and
all the pod-plants were believed to be her room. The small butterfly kept flying
and flying like a plane, when tired she would sit down on the flower bed. She
used to fly upon every single flower in the garden and suck the juice from the
flower to fill her appetite and thirst. The butterfly lived alone in the entire
garden like a queen, and she never had any shortage of food. But she sometimes
wished for a friend, who could play with her in the garden.
Then one fine day, just before the twilight, the butterfly was
sitting on a rose flower, there came a small bumblebee. Bumblebee came and sat
on the same rose flower. The butterfly took herself a little away on the flower
and gave some space to the bumblebee. The lovely butterfly thought that the
little bumblebee is the guest of that garden, he can sit anywhere and enjoy the
juice of the flowers.

But the bumblebee did not like the butterfly sitting beside him, so
he said, "You fly away from here, this flower is mine".
The butterfly did not like when she heard the bumblebee dismantling
her that way and she said, "No, this flower is mine too, why should I
fly?"
The bumblebee said, "I love this rose flower and I want to
enjoy the juice. You go and relax in any other flower. "
Butterfly said, "This is my garden, I can sit on any flower
and you are just a guest."
The small bumblebee was in a hurry to fly back home and he did not
say anything. He started sucking juices from the rose flower quickly so that before it gets dark he would return to his nest. But suddenly he was
trapped in the pollen of the flower. The bumblebee tried to stretch his nose
for a while, but he was stuck with the flower pollen badly, and he started having pain.
What does the bumblebee do now? He started fluttering. Butterfly saw
him in pain and felt pity for him. The
butterfly dug its antenna at the place of the flower where the bumblebee's
nose was stuck. Then she said to pull
the bumblebee's nose slowly. The bumblebee did just as the Butterfly said to
him. And then he came out from the pollen of the flower. He was relieved from the
pain and thanked the butterfly.
Since that day the bumblebee became a friend and kept coming again to
the garden to meet the sweet butterfly and also to enjoy the juice from any flower. He also huddled in the entire
garden throughout the day with the little butterfly.
