the backyard. There were many seeds and
falling fruits to fulfil their appetite for breakfast.
Suddenly, she saw a small moving object under
tree branch not far from the backyard. She came
closer and found out that a butterfly was stuck
under that branch.
“Oh, hen, can you do me a favour to lift this
branch? It fell on my right wing so I can’t move
anywhere”, begged butterfly to hen. “How pity
you are. Be ready butterfly, I will try to remove
this branch”, said hen.” So, she helped the
butterfly and succeeded.
Unluckily, butterfly’s right wing was broken
and flying was impossible to do. Kind hen
offered butterfly a shelter in her cage until it was
