A Butterfly
Tom got out of his house, he wasn't sure where to go but it was a sunny and bright day, good to be outside and feel a gentle whiff of fresh air. A few minutes later, Tom saw a green hill on the outskirts. Tom climbed on top and laid over the green grass, it was lovely to feel how the sun was passing through him, it seemed that his deep thoughts were warming as well. Having lost the track of time, when Tom barely began to feel somnolent, a butterfly landed on his torso. Tom stares at it. It was beautiful, Tom was surprised that the butterfly wasn't afraid of him. Then, the butterfly moved its yellow wings to move toward his nose;
一Hi, Tom一 said the butterfly. Tom was in astonishment, it was unbelievable.
一How do you do it to talk? why do you know my name? 一 Tom said incredulously.
一Do you believe in a fantasy world, Tom? 一 the butterfly said with its soft and warm voice.
一No...yes, but not in the real-life, what's going on here? 一 said, Tom. Then the butterfly moved its wings again and while it was leaving said;
一I just want to wish you a happy Saint George day, the Saint George's dragon is a fantasy as well, without us, the world would be less beautiful, isn't it Tom? 一
The butterfly left. Tom could not replay quickly, he was overwhelmed.
一Hey! don't leave me this way...tell me......oh! bye一
