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.
