The Butterfly and
the Snowflakes
Once upon a time, there
was a little sparrow that shared a little nest with her mother. One morning
she saw a white butterfly.
"Oh, he is so beautiful!
I think he resembles the snowflakes my mother told me about!"
The butterfly heard the
sparrow' words and he decided to wait for winter. So he hid in a warm place.
One day he heard a big noise. It was the wind. The ground was covered with
something wet and white. It shone in the sun like white fire. He decided
to meet his brothers: the snowflakes.
"Oh, it is wonderful! I
like dancing with you!" said the little butterfly. He danced with the snowflakes
for a while but he soon he felt tired. So he tried to return to his hiding-place,
but the same sparrow beak which changed his life, ate him at once.
All covert, all lose!
