CHAPTER 1
Once upon a time there was a beautiful butterfly. With different colors on her wings, it was one of kind. But she was very selfish.
One spring morning the beautiful butterfly was flying, On top of the blue lake. She loves to look at her own reflection Of the blue water from the lake. She said to herself, "My wings are the most beautiful of all!"
Then she flew away from the blue lake. She sat on a red Rose, the butterfly asked the rose "Have you seen someone else with beautiful wings, like mine?" Then the red Rose answered, "Well, Yes! Many like birds, parrots, bees and even butterflies like you. They all have beautiful wings!"
The selfish butterfly was very angry with the red rose. Then with her beautiful wings, flip flop the red rose petals. Poor! Delicate rose fell apart.
The butterfly flew away from the red rose, she sees an elephant eating green grass. The butterfly asked the elephant, "Have you seen someone else, with beautiful wings like mine?" The elephant ignores the butterfly, then she gets very angry with the elephant.
The butterfly said to the elephant, "You are jealous of me! You don't have beautiful wings like mine! You have big ears and a big trunk!" The poor elephant began to cry, the selfish butterfly hurt the elephant's feelings, she is a mean butterfly.
The selfish butterfly flew away from the elephant, she flew to the sea. She sees a big whale swimming across the sea. The butterfly asked the big whale, "Have you seen someone else with beautiful wings like mine!" The big whale responded to selfish butterfly. "Yes, Yes! The other day I was swimming and a bee flew over my head. Her wings were beautiful just like yours butterfly."
The beautiful butterfly flew away very angry from the big whale swimming across the sea. She sat on a branch of a tree, all of sudden it began to rain.
