There was a little beautiful girl named Mandu who was just 7 years old.
She was doing the best she could within her knowledge to have good grades, but she kept failing.
Everyone at home and some teachers called her names like "blockhead, silly-beauty, dumb view."
She would run to hide in the restroom during breaks or seek lonely corners to stay. She was always sad and unsettled about the next moment, whether at school or home.
Mandu became withdrawn and reserved. On her report sheets they wrote, "she's humble and non-interactive." She was always among the last positions in class. Finally, she got promoted on trial to primary three.
She had a new class teacher who took a particular interest in her.
One day, he sat beside her desk and said,
Fly, fly, fly, Mandu. You see those butterflies are colourful and people love to look at them. Fly towards success and people will come to you.
You cannot hide forever... the world is already a stage and field.
The teacher added "people are not always right until you agree with them... so are you wise or dull?.... the choice is yours."
But know that you are too beautiful to be dull. Your brain can rain or drain, but you must prove to yourself first that you are not dull."
Mandu hugged the teacher with tears and faith in her heart to make him proud. Atleast someone sees me she said.
Those words became a mantra for Mandu. Every break time, she turned her loneliness into aloneness to study. No more hiding or sobbing. From 39th position, Mandu took 7th position for the first time ever. Everyone was surprised when she was called up stage.
She knew that the butterfly effect was just one teacher who observed and helped her understand better.
Upon leaving grade school and pursuing further heights, she always strived for excellence, to be the best version of herself.
Whenever she looks back into time, she wished the butterfly lived long enough to see her today....😞
All she has left is the words and memories of that one teacher. The butterfly was a kind and considerate creature who had a season but lives forever.....
