There was a beautiful butterfly, Beauty. She lived in Lady Amelia’s garden and loves the flowers. One morning an old man came and captured the butterfly in his net. Lady Amelia pleaded with the old man to free the butterfly as she offered the old man a magical flower. The old man freed the butterfly, and the butterfly lived happily ever after and free from the wicked man.
