Pink Butterfly(A story for children)
Once upon a time, there was a pink butterfly, pinkoo who used to live with her mom on a beautiful oak tree. Her mom used to leave for her work every morning and pinkoo would be all alone in the house with lots of eatables, watching tv, drawing and whatever she can do at home. But soon pinkoo became bored of being all alone in the house for whole day and she also thought of going out and n'joy the world. So when her mom came back, she asked "Mama, I also want to go out and see the world". Her mama said, "ok pinkoo, tomorrow you can go out. But remember; just roam nearby our house, in the rose gardens. Don't go far away." Pinkoo became very happy and started dreaming of freaking all over of her own.
Next day morning, when mama got ready to go out for work, Pinkoo also put on her new dress, took her lunchbox and merrily jumped out of her house. Her mama warned, "Remember pinkoo, don't go far away." Pinkoo said "Bye mama" and started exploring the world. But she didn't forget her mama's words "Don't go far away". The whole day, she was nearby her house, in the rose gardens, jumping from one rose to another. She was very happy seeing so many colors, so many aromas, so many flowers, so many roses. She never knew, world was so beautiful. Now every morning, she used to leave her house and spend the whole day playing, singing and dancing within the roses.
One day, she met a blue butterfly in
the rose gardens. She was very happy to see her and thought of
making her a friend. "Hi, how are you" said pinkoo, "do you like
these roses?" The blue butterfly said "Yes, it is good. But it
will be boring after some days. You know, I stay in a sunflower
garden, where the flowers keep swinging along with the sun.
Sunflowers are very fond of sun and they keep on looking at the
sun. Wherever the sun goes, sunflowers also move to gaze at the
sun."
"Wow, it will be so good, I want to
see them" said pinkoo. So pinkoo and the blue butterfly planned to
go to the sunflower garden next day morning.
Pinkoo and the blue butterfly were
flying together to reach the sunflower garden. It was a little far
from her home but she was too excited to go to the yellow
sunflowers that she kept on flying merrily. "Hey, can you see the
big yellow and green waves there." asked blue butterfly, "yes, but
what is that" said pinkoo, "that is the sunflower garden and the
sunflowers are singing and dancing with the wind and sun." Pinkoo
and the blue butterfly gathered all there strength and flied fast
to reach the sunflowers in no time.
Pinkoo was besieged to see the
sunflowers. She had never seen so playful, warm and happy flowers.
She forgot everything and started playing with the flowers. The
flowers swirled with every single breeze and so did pinkoo. Sun
always moved with the flowers, and pinkoo felt so much warmth
sitting on the lap of each flower.
"Hey, but what is this. Why are these
black bugs trying to annoy me". There were some black
wasps…looking at her taking her as a new pink flower among all
those yellow sunflowers. "This new pink sunflower looks very
beautiful. Let us pluck it and take it to our house".
Pinkoo was very afraid and thought of
returning to her house. Suddenly she hopped out of the garden and
started flying towards her house.
"Hey, this pink sunflower can fly
also. We should get it and take it to our house". All the wasps
were behind pinkoo trying to catch her.
Pinkoo flied faster to her house but
what's that, she didn't know where to go..she forgot the way to
her house…she remembered her mama's words "Pinkoo don't go far
away." She was very said, she forgot her mama's words and now she
was in big trouble. "Oh mama, where are you" she cried.
The wasps were all behind her and she
had to move fast. Suddenly she hit something big but like her.
"Oh, that's mama". "What are you doing here Pinkoo, so far from
our house" asked mama. Pinkoo could not say anything but hugged
her mama and started crying. Her mama understood everything. She
took pinkoo and started flying very fast to leave the wasps behind
and reach home safely.
"Now you understood pinkoo, why I
asked you to not go very far". "Yes mama, now I'll always remember
your words and never forget them" Pinkoo cuddled with her mama
cozily and fell asleep.
