a short story under 300 words about a butterfly's day in the botanical garden
Butterfly Blue spotted Butterfly Friend resting on a leaf. He hurried to his side and flapped his large turquoise wings waking him up instantly.
"Come play with me," Butterfly Blue nagged as he bumped his black body against Butterfly Friend.
"No, I'm tired," answered Butterfly Friend not flinching an inch.
"Come play with me," repeated Butterfly Blue as the leaf trembled from the wind his wings created. Butterfly Blue's twin rushed over and swirled around with Butterfly Blue chanting in unison;
"Play with us, come play with us!"
"NO! Go away!" Butterfly Friend responded, annoyed. Butterfly Blue and his twin made a final spin around Butterfly Friend before flying away. They went in search of other butterfly friends to chase around.
"Finally, quiet," Butterfly Friend sighed.
A young girl watched the scene fascinated. Her blond curls swung on each side of her chubby face as she looked up at her mother.
"Did you see the butterflies' mommy? They were like big brother, so annoying," said the six year-old pointing at the butterflies fleeing away. "Can we take a picture of the butterfly, mommy?"
"Of course sweetie," Mommy said as she lifted the camera and took a snap shot of her daughter and the butterfly. The young girl turned her attention to the butterfly, her hazel eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Good bye!" she said, smiling. She waved a kiss at the butterfly before she took her mommy's hand and left the glass house.
