The story’s events revolve around the forest and nature, telling of a situation that occurred between a butterfly, a bee, and a rose. The bee wanted to harm the happy butterfly, but the rose noticed the butterfly’s fear and decided to teach the bee a lesson to love others as she loved herself. The nearby tree witnessed what was happening and spoke with the bee, drawing her attention to the bad situation she had created with the butterfly. The bee admitted her mistake and apologized to the butterfly, and they all became friends.
The Butterfly and the Rose: The butterfly stood on the rose, and the rose was very happy with the butterfly. The butterfly was light, and when she moved her wings, the rose leaves shook. The butterfly played over the rose happily, and the rose danced and sang.
The Coming of the Bee: Then a bee came, and bees love roses. She circled around the rose for a while, as if the forest contained nothing but that rose.
The Butterfly and the Escape: The butterfly felt fear of the bee. She sensed that the bee wanted to harm her. The butterfly said to the rose fearfully: Hide me between your soft leaves. The rose answered: I fear for you, oh butterfly. Your wings are soft like silk. I fear that if I fold my leaves over you, you’ll be hurt and suffer.
The butterfly said to her: Then I will flee. The rose suggested to her: Hide in the branch of the nearby tree. Indeed, the butterfly flew away until she hid among the branches of a tree. The nearby tree was watching what was happening.
The Bee and the Rose: As for the bee, she landed on the rose. The bee pushed her proboscis deep into the rose. The rose folded her leaves. The bee was very afraid and begged the rose to open her leaves and let her go. The rose said firmly to her: Have you forgotten what you did with the butterfly a little while ago? You terrified her and made her very afraid and caused her to flee far away?! The bee said to her: Please, I won’t do that a second time. I won’t harm anyone after today.
The Return of the Butterfly: The butterfly of good heart returned to the rose and begged the rose to release the bee from among her leaves and let her go. The rose opened her leaves, and the bee raised her head. The bee was freed from the rose leaves and flew in the air happy.
The Tree and the Bee: The tree spoke about what had happened and said to the bee: Were it not for the butterfly, the rose would have eaten you. The bee replied to her: Indeed, were it not for the butterfly, the rose would have eaten me. The tree said to her: Oh bee, you wanted to harm the butterfly, and here she has returned to you and saved you. You must apologize to her for what you did. The bee apologized to the good-hearted butterfly, and the butterfly of good heart accepted her apology.
Friendship: And everyone became friends: the tree, the butterfly, the bee, and the rose. They all lived together in the forest, happy and delighted. The butterfly returned to fly happily and lightly among the roses, and the bee returned to fly in the air and land on roses without harming anyone.
