2. There were three little butterfly sisters: one white, one red, and
one yellow.

3. They
played,
danced,
and they
were
very happy.

4. One day
there came
a heavy rain.

5. The butterflies
flew home,
but the door
was locked. So they had to stay out of doors in the
rain.

6. Then they flew to the
red and yellow striped
tulip,

7. "Friend Tulip, will you
open your flower-cup
and let us in till the storm
is over?"
and said,

8. The tulip answered,
"The red and yellow butterflies
may enter, because they are like
me, but the white one may not
come in."

9. But the red and yellow
butterflies said,
"If our white sister may not come in, we'll stay outside in
the rain with her.''

10. Then they flew to the white
lily and said,

11. "Good Lily, will you open your
bud a little so we may creep in
out of the rain?''

12. The lily answered:
"The white butterfly may come in, because
she is like me, but the red and yellow ones
must stay outside in the storm.''

13. Then the
little
white
butterfly
said,
"If my red and yellow sisters may not come
in, why, then, I'll stay out in the rain with
them.

14. But the sun heard it all, and he knew what
good little sisters the butterflies were.

15. So he pushed his face through the clouds, and
chased away the rain, and shone brightly on the
garden.

16. He dried the wings of the three little
butterflies, and they danced among the
flowers till the evening.

17. Then they
flew away
home, and
found the
door wide
open.
