Spin a tale around the sleeping baby 👶🏻 - 2

            Do babies dream while sleeping? They sparkle an involuntary smile as well as a smirk in their sleep as if they are in their own dreamland. Looking at my pretty princess sleeping happily and doing the same, I thought she was in her own dreamland. I then decided to imagine my own dreamland, dress her up and spin a tale around my sleeping baby for my little Samyu, who is extremely fascinated by the small stories I tell to feed her and to put her to sleep. 

I always wanted to tell the story of a butterfly 🦋 which develops from a caterpillar 🐛 as it has several life lessons to learn. So I quickly dressed up my sleeping baby like this and started to spin my tale around the pictures.

The baby queen

My Lovely Butterfly

Title of the story:

The baby queen 👸 and the butterfly 🦋

Characters: The baby queen, sister, 👸  mother🤱, a soldier and a butterfly🦋

                                                                                The Story

                     
Once upon a time, there lived a baby queen 👑, who is cute and has a great heart. She was known for her kindness and was loved by everyone around her. She had a lovely sister with whom she used to play every day in the garden. Both the sisters 👯 loved the greens and are fascinated by every single living being in their garden.

                       One day while playing in the garden, they both came across a strange thing, as hard as a shell 🐚 but pretty colourful on the branch of a tree 🌳. Both the sisters 👯 became curious about the shell 🐚 like structure and ran to their mother. They told her what they saw in the garden and asked her what it was. She told the sisters 👯 that it is a chrysalis and a beautiful butterfly 🦋 will be coming out of it once it is ready. Both the sisters were awestruck hearing that and wanted to see the colourful butterfly 🦋 coming out of its shell 🐚.

                       The baby queen 👑 and her sister told about their desire to their mother. Mother thought 💭 for a while and then called one of the soldiers to go and find the butterfly shell in their garden and wait there to watch it coming out. She asked the soldier to come and inform them as soon as he sees the butterfly 🦋 breaking out the shell. The soldier followed the command and waited near a branch with the cocoons. When he saw the cracking cocoon, he immediately sent a word to the baby queen  👸 following which the mother 🤱and the sisters came running to the tree 🌳.

                       All the three  👩‍👧‍👧  stood near the tree 🌳 to watch the butterfly 🦋 coming out. They noticed the little creature inside, struggling to break open its shell 🐚. Looking at the struggle of the butterfly, sister of the baby queen cut open the shell and pulled the butterfly out. It was tiny and the wings seemed weak. It could not fly, instead fell down hit the ground and died. The sisters 👯 are shocked and were extremely disappointed 😔 at the death.

                       Mother then pointed towards another chrysalis, from which a butterfly 🦋 is trying to come out. She asked the sisters 👯 to silently watch the struggle the butterfly underwent to come out. It finally broke the cocoon and flew away happily into the blue sky. The sisters 👯 are elated at the sight of flying butterfly 🦋

                        Then their mother told them the real essence of life. She told them that one should go through some struggle and hardship in the life to succeed just like the butterfly 🦋. The first one died because it did not struggle much to come out and the second one survived because it underwent the required struggle and hardship.

Moral:  Struggles are key to build in strength, which is needed to shine.
