“But you can fly…” – a small fable

A butterfly flew nearby. She saw the orchids and said to them, “You are like a magic floating carpet, so beautiful with the most enchanting colours! I envy you! Every day you can enjoy each others company, bask in the light, and be safe and happy. But I must work hard to find food and be afraid of predators.”

At this, the flowers whispered amongst themselves and answered her, “But you can fly…”
