Dancing Butterflies

Dancing Butterflies

Mr. Sun raised his sleepy head when Dancing Butterflies entered the enchanted forest to practice her newest ballet routine. "It's so quiet here," she thought as she donned her slippers, about to try a very difficult dance step. The leaves on the trees cast a magical shadow that looked just like a curtain rising above a stage. Dancing Butterflies took a deep breath, arched her back and stepped high above the ground as if she was walking on air! She spun around-faster and faster-until her yellow mane wrapped around her like a lace shawl. "You did it," a little voice called from the trees. "You're as graceful as a butterfly!" another voice added. Dancing Butterflies looked up to see hundreds of beautiful butterflies watching her. Just then, the wind whistled a sweet melody that started her whirling and twirling again. "Come join me," she said to the butterflies, who were already following her lead.
