If I Were a Butterfly

If I Were a Butterfly, I would like to be the Blue Butterfly. First, I would like to tell you the legendary story about the Blue Butterfly, and you will realize why I want to be the Blue Butterfly.

Once upon the time, there is a young native girl  in Costa Rica. The village they lived has a civil war. They are fighting for rights and power. One day, the one she loved die in the tribal war. She is very sad and manage to  stop the war. Therefore, she decided to offer herself as a sacrifice to the volcano and hoped that the God could  bring peace, love and happiness for their people.

On the second day, on the way to the volcano, she fell into the river next to a waterfall and drowned. At that moment, the volcano started to rumble, and a beautiful blue butterfly come out from the bottom of the river. In the meantime, the sky, flowers and all animals around there turned into blue. A few days later, the butterfly transformed itself into a blue angel. Later, in the forest,  a flock of blue butterflies lay on a tree. It looks like they are doing prayer. So, the tree is called peaceful tree. Afterward, the blue butterfly become a symbol of peace, love and happiness.

That is the reason why I would like to be the blue butterfly, not others. If I were a blue butterfly, I hope that I could  bring the world hope, peace and happiness.
