What's that, mum?

What, sweetie?

That.

Oh, that's a sunflower.

No, I mean that blue bug. What's that?

Ah, that's a butterfly.

Butterfly. Can I touch it?

No, sweet. It likes being left alone.

But won't it be sad? I promise I won't hurt it.

Butterflies are always happy, love. They are very delicate and vulnerable, and if they get hurt they may die. That's why you shouldn't touch a butterfly because it will feel threatened. Do you understand?

Yes, mum.

Good. Oh look.

It's flying away. Let's catch it!

No, Alexis. Let's leave it alone. I told you, do not touch a butterfly.

But will it come back?

Maybe. I'm sure it has a family to go back to.

Okay.

Don't be sad. Come on, let's go back. Do you want to eat ice cream?

Yes! Yes! Ice cream! Ice cream!

Haha, alright then.
