Big Dreams

  Written by: Mina Nazari

Pilo, Chilo, and Thin were the names of three butterflies who were trapped with a group of butterflies in a small darkroom. The butterflies were very sad inside the room and they did not have any chance to be rescued. Pilo was the only butterfly among them who had hope for life.

One day Pilo wanted to find a way to rescue her friends and she crawled upon the other butterflies. Chilo got angry on her. Pilo reached to the wall of the room and hit the wall on her fests but the wall was very hard. The other butterflies mocked her. Pilo thought that she would find a way to rescue her friends. She found a crack in the wall. She put her claws in it and pushed it toward herself. Suddenly she fell upon the Thin and hurt her leg. Thin said nothing but Chilo got angry on Pilo and asked her to leave them to live a few days more.

A few days later, Pilo found a small hole in the wall and she started to make it wider. She was working nights and days. She was suffering from the blisters on her hands but she continued to work hard. The other butterflies prevented her but she did not accept.

One day, when she was busy in digging the wall, she fell on the ground and hurt her waist but she continued her work. Finally, the sunrays interred into the darkroom and all butterflies became happy. Pilo and other butterflies went out of the room and they thanked Bilo to save their lives.
