Once butterflies used to live in houses. A girl, Mariposa by name, used to have a small house. While she was standing near the door, she suddenly caught sight of money. “How fortunate I am!” Mariposa thinks. “I wish to hurry to the marketplace.” There in the marketplace, she catches sight of a splendid fabric with many colors. “The fabric pleases me greatly!” exclaims Mariposa. Mariposa made a beautiful stola from this fabric and she used to wear the stola often, which had all the colors of a queen. In the marketplace a boy, Publius Florus, catches sight of Mariposa wearing the stola and greets the girl, “Hello, my queen!” Soon the girl and boy were friends. After many years Publius declares, “I wish to marry you.” “Yes indeed! I love you,” Mariposa agreed happily. Before the wedding, the Publius suddenly departed from life. On account of Publius’ death, Mariposa was miserable. Her friends gave many and various flowers. She began to love the smell of flowers. And so, Mariposa was flying among the flowers around the town and was not returning home. Just like Mariposa, butterflies today no longer live in houses, but fly here and there and smell flowers.
