32 Butterfly dancers 蝴蝶舞者
●導讀頁
蝴蝶花 The butterfly flower
The field is a rainbow of colours.
Some of them turn their faces to
the sun, and sway in the breeze.
Some of them rise gently into
the air…but wait! Those aren’t
flowers! They are butterflies,
darting and swooping in the sky.
The fields have come to life!
田野中彌漫著彩虹般的色彩。
它們當中有的把頭轉向太陽，在微風中搖曳。
它們當中有的在空中挺立，搖曳生姿……
但是啊，等等！
那些可不是花兒們！
它們是蝴蝶，在空中忽上忽下。
整片田野生機盎然！

Carry our pollen with you as you fly!’

patter of raindrops on the leaves and the ground.
