The Dog and the Butterfly Moral

not happening she said with a sniff the world is cruel and I give up the old man patted the park bench never stop trying he told her trying is dying the world is crashing she said I may as well give up and be dead she scrambled away from the weird old man her secret place called from the high oak but she could hear him whispering his whispers disturbed her voice of confusion begging to be free, she turned her back but her ears heard the dog and the butterfly tale up in the air she wanted to fly, not down in the dirt she truly did not want to die the dog has to try, the old man said you cannot give up until you are dead We are balanced as the ocean, the moon and the sky You have to try! You have to try! She jumped from the tree and she began to fly
