In a beautiful garden, there lived a little butterfly. This little butterfly was a bit different from other butterflies. It had a very great dream. It didn't want to be like other butterflies, just flitting and playing among the flowers every day. It was eager to fly over the high mountains to see the outside world. However, it knew that it was a very far - off place, and for such a little it, it was almost impossible to reach.
The little butterfly told its friends about its dream, but all of its friends thought it was silly. An older butterfly said to it, "You are so small, and the mountains are so far away. You can't fly that far. Just play in the garden peacefully." But the little butterfly wasn't discouraged by these words. It firmly believed that as long as it kept on striving, it could surely realize its dream. So, the little butterfly got up early every day to practice flying. It flapped its wings hard, flying towards the edge of the garden again and again, trying to build up its strength and flying skills.
During this process, the little butterfly encountered a great many difficulties. Sometimes, a strong wind would suddenly blow, making it stagger about; sometimes, heavy rain would fall, and the raindrops hitting its wings made it even more difficult for it to fly. But the little butterfly never thought of giving up. It always encouraged itself silently in its heart: "I can do it. I will fly over to the other side of the mountains."
As time passed, the little butterfly's flying ability grew stronger and stronger. It began to fly towards the mountains. First, it had to fly over a thick forest. There were a lot of tall trees in the forest, and their branches intertwined like a huge maze. The little butterfly carefully shuttled through the forest. Sometimes it would accidentally bump into the branches, but it quickly adjusted itself and continued to fly forward.
After a long flight, the little butterfly finally got close to that high mountain. It saw that the mountain towered into the clouds, and there were a great many plants and flowers on it that it had never seen before. The little butterfly was very excited. It sped up and flew towards the mountaintop.
Finally, the little butterfly successfully flew to the mountaintop. Standing on the mountaintop, it overlooked the world below, and its heart was filled with joy and pride. Its dream had finally come true. It saw a broader world and more beautiful scenery. The little butterfly knew that as long as one had a dream and persevered in striving, one could surely achieve it. It stayed on the mountaintop for a while, and then flew back to its garden with full harvests, sharing its experiences with its friends. It hoped that its friends could also bravely pursue their own dreams.
