THE MAGIC BUTTERFLY

Somewhere over the rainbow a little black and white town existed. The people who lived there did not know how the happiness looked like. Their life was just a sad existence, where the work was the only entertainment. If in the world there was any other way of enjoying life, this population ignored that and never had in mind a little spark of curiosity about it.

Nevertheless, we can’t lose our faith in the possibility of finding someone who could make a difference and try to change the pathetic town. Yes, this person was Elisa, an eight year old girl. Elisa always dreamed with a butterfly, it was a strange butterfly to her because it had a big shinning like no other thing in Elisa’s Village. All of her friends and the people from the black and white town knew Elisa as the girl with the crazy dream. Since the girl told everybody about her dream but could never explain well enough how the butterfly was, so in no way they believed it to her.

A rainy day, Elisa wanted to go outside to ride her bicycle. Sonia, her mother, warned Elisa that she might get sick if she went outside. Although she knew it, she misbehaved and went for a ride. She had had been looking for the strange butterfly in different roads of the town and the only that she had never looked was the forbidden road with the big wall at the end. This time she would drive into it.

Guided by the light of a small lamp in front of her bicycle, Elisa took the path. It was a scary and abandoned path, anyway she got full of courage. Suddenly, the butterfly of her dreams appeared, as shining and colorful as she had imagined. Thus Elisa decided to follow the beautiful butterfly. She went threw the amazing wall that surrounded the whole village and beyond the woods. In the end of all of this things, there was the most wonderful rainbow. It was the first one Elisa could ever saw in her life and she felt excited.

In that moment she though about her worried mom and the sad people from her town, and believed she could change their life with the colors of happiness. Then Elisa decided to tide a side of the rainbow in a ride of her bicycle and drive it to home. It was a hard work, because the rainbow was really heavy and it has a lot of colors. Anyway she tried her best and in the end, it was worth it, as she was getting to her village she painted everything and with it brought happiness to everybody.
