The Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Butterfly




A million years ago, nature was black and white except for the flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Butterfly ate nectar from the flowers but what they didn’t know is that the nectar is magical. After they feasted a lot on the nectar, they flew away to Butterfly Palace. The next day, their friend, Sirloin, was spying on them. Sirloin was amazed. His friends wings were tie-dye colors!!! When they went to breakfast, all the black and white butterflies stared. They had never seen a colored butterfly before! Saundra (aka: Mrs. Butterfly) and Pierre (a.k.a. Mr. Butterfly) did not know why everyone was staring until they looked at their wings. They were shocked. “How did this happen?” Saundra cried. Pierre said, “I don’t know, but look on the bright side: we made history! We’re the first butterflies to have color.”

Twenty-three years later, they had kids with rainbow wings. They were so pretty, however when the babies grew up and they had kids, they were black and brown. Nobody knows how Saundra and Pierre had wings of color, but we do. I observed it, so this is a true story. Whenever you see a colorful butterfly, remember, that could have been a baby of Saundra and Pierre.
