Butterflies

The day that I first saw a butterfly up close was when a butterfly landed on my friend Cathrine's nose. We were laying on a blanket in her front yard and we had our eyes closed and we were completely, utterly, silent. Then I wanted a drink of my lemonade, so slowly, and groggy from my cat nap I sat up. I took a sip, and nearly gagged, because I looked up and saw, up close for the first time a real live, butterfly. Now, since I was only 2 years old I was pretty amazed at the sight.I knew that I would scare it if I was too loud, so very quietly I told Cathrine not to move. Then when she looked the butterfly looked back. Then flew off. That butterfly was the coolest butterfly ever, with all the blue and yellow, and green. I have loved butterflies ever since.
