"Oh, I got it. It's in my hand now." She looks at it happily. "But what's this? It's not the butterfly. It's only a dry leaf." 
Jonali looks out for the butterfly again. She smiles."Aha! It's on the sunflower. I must get it this time." She goes to the flower. But the sunflower nods its head and the butterfly flies away again.

"Oh dear! The butterfly seems to be flying all the time." It is free. It can fly so high. Jonali looks up at the butterfly. She says, "I wish I
could fly like a butterfly high up in the sky. I'm so happy I let it go."
