My Journey With Butterflies

On a sunny day, I encountered a caterpillar in the midst of curry leaves. I escorted it and kept in a transparent box. Feeding the caterpillar had become my daily work. I gleefully did it. One day it started spinning cocoon. I was scared by seeing that. It had undergone a tough transformation-Metamorphism I was said that the butterfly will come out within a week. It was the eighth day. There was no butterfly, rather I noticed some changes in the chrysalis(Cocoon). I was anxious and thought it was dead. The next day morning my mom squeed"Hey,there is a butterfly inside the box". I was at the height of bliss by hearing that.The moment I would like to cherish for lifetime. It was a swallow tail butterfly. It walked on my arms, kissed me. After a few hours it flew away but the happiness would not be forgotten. Since that day I decided to raise butterflies. So far I have raised 50 butterflies. Now our garden is full of a kaleidoscope of butterflies. After all,happiness lies in the little things.
