A butterfly fairytale

By Penelope Z. to Tasos Z. 



nce upon a time, back up in the mountains, there was a little butterfly. She was very sad, because the other butterflies didn't want to play with her. The special  thing with her, was that she changed colors lots of times in one day, so we can't tell with detail what color she was! She was very beautiful... But she wasn't able to recognize it, because butterflies don't have any mirrors!
  One day, she decided to go away from the mountain where she lived and to move to another place. The last night she slept on her flower, she had a very strange dream. She dreamt that a fairy came to her while she was sleeping and said :
- Hello little butterfly. I know that you want to go away from this mountain, so I came to tell you that if you want to be happy where you go, you must cross the mountain. Then, you'll see a city, named Kalamata, which is near the sea, and near this mountain. Then, you will just have to go to a house which has a big garden  with three palm trees. As many are the palm trees as many are the children.
- So, how many are the children?
- Can't you estimate?
- Errr..... four? No, not four, two, or five?...
- There are three palm trees so there are three children silly butterfly!
 
- I don't believe that such a wonderful place like that really exists! 
said the butterfly.
- Then, go and see by yourself! the fairy answered. After that, she  disappeared...
   The butterfly woke up, but she didn't see the fairy! What was that magic thing?! she wandered. Were all the things I dreamt about real? 

 She drank some flower juice and she begun her trip. After flying for some hours, she arrived at the top of the mountain, and she sat on a flower to rest. Then she saw Kalamata, and what a green city it is. She started flying again, but this time, she was searching for the  house with the garden with the three palm trees. She was searching, and searching, and finally she found it. It was a house with a very big garden and lots of  flowers. She sat on a flower.
- "Now I can take some flower-power and relax," was all she said. After a moment, she had fallen asleep... Suddenly, a gentle breeze started blowing and stroke the butterfly, it was like it was saying "Goodnight, little butterfly."
The next day, she woke up by a childish laugh and she saw three children. The first one was a girl. She was 11 years old, she had green to brown eyes and a kind smile. She also had medium light brown hair she was tall and she was wearing glasses. The second one was a boy. He was 9 years old and he was taller than the girl, although the girl was 14 months older. He had brown eyes and hair and he was good looking. The last one was a boy. He was 5 years old and he had light brown hair, brown eyes and he was jumping happily while he was walking.
 "Those must be the children the fairy told me about," thought the butterfly. "Let's go to meet them!" She flew quickly to reach them. The bigger boy started shouting. "Stop, Panos! The butterfly can't hurt you!" said the girl. "A butterfly!" said the little boy. "Leave the butterfly alone Tasos!"
