Introduction
It was a cold and stormy day.
The rose garden known for the romantic episode was blown off by strong winds.
From somewhere one beautiful blue butterfly came and was smashed onto the ground by the sudden blow.
He stood up weakly and walked slowly toward the nearest rose to request a shelter.

“Please, let me stay under your petal for tonight.
The winds and rains are just too much for me.. “ , said the blue butterfly.
“Okay, I will protect you.
Come closer and hold my body as much as you can.”, said the red rose.
The blue butterfly thankfully nodded, approached, and held its body tightly.
The rose kept standing under the violent wind and the rain all over the night, and the storm had gone when the sunrise arrived.
The blue butterfly woke up and was relieved to know that the danger had gone.
“Thank you so much..”
After he said so to the red rose, he got shocked to see the stem was broken off.
The red rose said.
”You are welcome.
You see, the wind broke my stem.
My life doesn’t last anymore.
I was happy to see you.”

The butterfly lost a word.
'Only my wish is a small child who often came and took care of me is fine.
It was a cold day, if she had a cough, she should use my morning dew.'
The red rose said in a weak and tender tone.
“I will check around here to find the girl, please wait for a moment.”
Blue butterfly flew and found a small house.
It was the manager room of this garden.
From there, he saw one pale girl, coughing on the bed.
She was the girl the rose had told.
She was in fact going to check the garden even on the stormy day, but was carried back to the bed as she had fallen suddenly.
The blue butterfly came back in a hurry to the red rose to talk about her,
but the life of the red rose had already ended by the time.
The blue butterfly thought.
”Everybody dies someday.
And, this rose spent its remaining time to save me, who is a complete stranger.
Probably, love exists over the species.
And, we keep existing beyond the time by handing our love to someone.
Now, I will do the same to this human child.”
As he was instructed, he took the dew on the petal.
He sneaked in the room and splashed it above her.
The air got refreshed and she looked better after that.
He got delighted.

Having heard that the child was recovering by the blue butterfly, other butterflies also came to him.
'This is not only about this child', said an orange butterfly.
The blue butterfly listened silently.
Then this orange butterfly continued.
”All of the children around here are sick and coughing due to the unknown disease.”
”I want to save them.”
The blue butterfly agreed and said.
“If the dew of the rose is the remedy, we should do it.”
Blue, orange, yellow, and so on, various colors of butterflies gathered the dew and flew at once.
They danced and splashed the dew while whispering to children.
Children, children..
Wash your hands when you go home
Clean your throat with salty water
Close the door and sleep well
Devil is out you are in
Till the storm goes
Children, children..
Like the snow powder the dew fell in a soft manner.
People were never sure what had happened.
From the day the large number of butterflies were seen in the sky the children stopped coughing.
And, the butterflies fell to the ground like dead leaves after accomplishing their missions.

Many days had passed.
One little girl holding a watering can showed up in the garden.
She found one dead blue butterfly and picked it up in a sad manner.
Once she came back to her room, washed her hands, and put it near her favorite dried red rose.
Then closed her eyes and prayed for a while.
As such, the story ends.
The End.
