Lila stepped into her sparkling flower garden. The air hummed with color.
She froze. On a soft pink petal sat a tiny blue butterfly. Its wings trembled.
Lila crouched low and crawled forward on her knees. She reached one hand out.
The butterfly lifted its wings and hovered just above her fingertip. It drifted lower.
Its wings tickled her skin. Lila held her breath and didn't move a finger.
The butterfly fluttered up and circled her head three times. Golden dust filled the air.
Lila giggled and spun around, chasing the butterfly through the sparkling flowers.
The butterfly settled on her shoulder. She walked home with a smile that wouldn't stop.
