My mind envisioned a slew of butterflies captured inside, just praying to be let go. I anticipated them frantically flapping as they reached the summit of the rusty tin. Some of them bumping into one another before elevating into the cerulean blue sky. The union of both was perfect and serene. All of a sudden, she landed on the crown of my nose persistently flapping her wings with much trouble. Her beedy little eyes and antennas were pointing erectly towards me, calling for assistance. Her abdomen looked saturated, as if she had just had a generous helping of nectar. I examined her forewings, bursting with amazing peach tones, unfortunately one was torn. I reviewed her aqua hindwings and the opposite wing also ripped. I proceeded to my mother's sewing box and found a fine point needle with some very thin silk pink thread. I named my new friend, Monica. I expressed to her my plan, she winked at me with assurance. The light pink thread entered in and out of her smooth wings with grace. Within one half hour she was as good as new. She raised her head to thank me. As she fluttered back onto the tip of my snout, she kissed me good bye, leaving a smidgen of moist dew. I ran out to the field with the empty tin in my hand, questioning if Monica would ever find her way back to me. As I looked to my right, she surfaced on my shoulder leaving me a gift.
I placed this treasure into the tin can.
