ButterflyBY: SIRIUS BLACK

It was a dreamy day, and the rain fell in sheets,

soaking everything and everyone. But for one
young girl, the rain was not a cause for
concern– it was an opportunity. She opened
her window and let the rain wash over her, cool
and soothing, and she closed her eyes, listening
to the steady patter of the raindrops on the
roof. For a moment, she was at peace,
surrounded by the gentle sound of the rain.

But soon, something caught her attention, a

small figure moving through the rain. She
looked closer and saw that it was a butterfly,
struggling against the wind and rain. In an
instant, the young girl was out of her window
and into the rain, her mind set on saving the
butterfly. She used her hands to catch the
butterfly, and then carefully carried it inside,
where it could dry and warm up.

The rain continued to fall, but for the young

girl, the moment had passed– she was fulfilled,
having saved a small life in the middle of the
storm.
