The Enchanted Woods
Flutter the Butterfly

Hannah smiled." That's a great idea, Flutter!" Flutter blushed. She was a beautiful butterfly. Her butterfly friends were Hannah, Kelly, Rainbow, and Rose. Flutter had suggested that they put on a play and invite everyone in the Enchanted Woods to come. Rainbow smiled dreamily." Just think. We're finally going to be noticed!" Rainbow spent lots of her time trying to get faeries and unicorns to notice her, a little butterfly. Kelly giggled." Yes!" she said."Not just spending our free time floating around lazily." Kelly always exercised in the morning and ate berries with butterfly vitamins in them. Hannah rolled her eyes. "But," she commented." It's going to be loads of fun!" "What kind of play should we put on?" asked Hannah, who liked to take charge of things. The butterflies thought. Then Flutter suggested," How about a princess that gets kidnapped by the wicked queen. Her friends go find her. "Good idea!" Hannah said. "So, who should play what part?" "Flutter should be the princess," Kelly voted. "I'll be the queen," Hannah said. "Then me, Rose, and Kelly can be the friends," Rainbow said. "Fine by me," Rose agreed. Hannah, who was the best artist, went home and drew lots of colorful invitations. When she got back, Flutter took a stack and flew around delivering them. Soon she came to a cave. The gold sign on the wall said," Hope's Cave." Flutter knocked on the wall with Hope's knocker. Soon a pretty unicorn came out. "Hello," she said. Flutter smiled and said," Would you like to come to a play by the Ancient Tree next week?" Hope took the invitation and put it on the ground so that she could read it. After she finished reading it, Hope said," I'll be there." Then she went back inside her cave. Next, Flutter went to a hollow tree where she knew a faerie lived. Then she rang the bluebell and waited. Flutter noticed a little sign saying," Sugar's Home" Out of a tiny door a faerie came. "Hi!" she said, cheerfully. "Hi!" Flutter answered. "Would you to come to a play by the Ancient Tree next week?" She held out the invitation so the faerie could read it. "I'll come," Sugar promised. As Flutter continued into the woods, she saw a pretty little blue cloud. Flutter asked," Would you like to come to a play by the Ancient Tree next week?" Flutter handed the cloud an invitation. The cloud read it, then smiled. "I'll be delighted to come!" she said. "By the way, I'm Mistie." "I'm Flutter," Flutter said. After all the butterflies were done, they met at the Ancient Tree. It turned out that everybody in the Enchanted Woods could come. The five butterflies practiced and did their play splendidly!
