Once upon a time, a curious boy named Johnny stumbled upon a shimmering butterfly, who, much to his surprise, introduced herself as Raven, a butterfly fairy. “I come from a land where magic flutters in the air, and I’m here to share a special secret,” Raven said. Her wings, glistening with an ethereal glow, hovered delicately as she perched on a peculiar plant with clusters of pink blossoms.
“This,” she explained, “is Milkweed, the royal cradle of the majestic Monarch butterflies.” Johnny looked at the plant in awe, noticing the tiny eggs nestled under the leaves. “The caterpillars will hatch from these eggs and feast on the Milkweed leaves, their only food source,” she continued.

Raven told him about the incredible journey the Monarchs undertake each year, a testament to the resilience of nature. She expressed the threats these beautiful creatures face, including the loss of Milkweed plants. Johnny listened, feeling a knot form in his stomach. “But the future can change,” Raven assured him, “and it starts with planting more Milkweed, creating a haven for our Monarch friends.”
Motivated, Johnny promised to grow more Milkweed plants, eager to aid the butterflies. As he started to make a difference, he realized the truth in Raven’s parting words: “Remember, Johnny, big changes start small…one day at a time.“
