Buddy Butterfly landed on my favoritest bush and I saw the ol' lizard lying in wait. Gasping, “Please don't eat him,” I secretly beg.
The mean ol' lizard slowly crept toward Buddy….Gulp!
“Oh no! He ate my friend!”
Buddy wiggled and fought and got away! Whew! A great big bite was taken from his wing, but at least he could still fly!
I fluttered my wings at the lizard and chirped at him, “BOO!” and scared that rascal lizard away.
Birds are suppose to eat butterflies, but I don't. Butterflies are my goodest friends. You don't eat your goodest friends.

BEAUTIFUL WORDS 
that’s a sweet story of friendship, I like it! 🙂
Thank you so much Lady Lee! 🙂
Yay for Buddy and his precious friends! You are so right, friends don’t eat their “goodest” friends 🙂 Love it!
Thank you JR!! I appreciate your feedback!
You are welcome! I love your stories and I love hearing from you to! Too bad we can’t meet for coffee 🙂
Thank you so much JR! I love your stories too! It would be wonderful to be able to meet and share friendship and coffee!
Goodest friends 🙂 So cute. I love your story.
Thank you Jenn! 🙂
Cute story 🙂 I like the way it is written with the voice sounding like a child… And then it turns out to be a bird.
Thank you Angie! It was fun to write.
A cute and cheerful story. Makes my heart smile 🙂
Thank you Nortina! 🙂
Very cute. I noticed the ragged wings too and you incorporated very nicely in your story.
Thank you Deborah! 🙂
True friendship…. But luckily, Mr. Bird is not friends with all insectoids…. He would be a hungry little bird!
Haha! That is so true! He’s just friends with the butterflies, well, Buddy in particular.
awh! So cute! I try to tell Charlie that he shouldn’t eat his stuffed toys too! haha!
Haha! Charlie likes to eat his stuffed animals!? Does he like to eat the squeeky maker that is inside?
Well he actually chews it up and spits it out thankfully
Thank goodness it spits it out! LOL! Well, at least you don’t have to listen to the squeeking. haha!
No you don’t kill your goodest friends! lovely story!
Thank you Yolanda! It was a fun story to write.
How sweet. Lovely friends 😊
Thank you Jacqueline! 🙂
Great story! The bird has a very distinctive “voice”- an endearing, almost childish, innocence.
Thank you, yes! He is a young bird.
Oh what a cute story! Of course one doesn’t eat their goodest friends! 😀 Buddy Butterfly, FTW!
Thank you Uday! 🙂 What does FTW mean??
Oh it’s just something I picked up lately 😛 Apparently internet acronym for “For The Win!”
Cute! Thanks Uday!
Who wouldn’t want a goodest friend like that??? 🙂
Everybody!! 🙂 :D:D
Fish…I mean, BUTTERFLIES are friends, not food 😀 😛 I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, you’re a master when it comes to voice! I always love your stories and the feelings I walk away with after reading them. Excellent job!
Ahhh thank you, that is so sweet! You just made my day!! Thank you!! 🙂 🙂 ❤ ❤
Well deserved!
Thank you! xoxo
Thank goodness Buddy got out of there with just a bite from his wing…Yikes!! A friend in need is a friend indeed…lucky for Buddy, Birdie liked him and not as a meal!!! Fun story.
Yes, Birdie is the kind of friend to have indeed! And Buddy is lucky to have him as a friend instead of as a predator. 😀 Thank you Deb!
That’s such a sweet story and very nicely conveyed! A bird sparing a butterfly simply because they are friends. Whenever I see videos on strange friendships between animals I am overawed at their love for each other. As good as if not better than humans.
I am too Alka! (Unusual friends). Their love for each other truly does seem so real and so strong.
Awe what a lovely story, Joy, so sweeeeet
Thank you so much Cat! 🙂
A baby bird and a butterfly. Well, you somehow make it work. Cute!
Thank you Emilio – I had fun writing this story.
A sweet story, PJ. 🙂 I always love tales about friendships that shouldn’t exist!
Thank you Louise! I do too. I love to watch shows about “odd” friendships.
A very sweet story with a strong voice. I thought the narrator was a child and then realized it was a bird and thought that was just grand.
Thank you! 🙂
Cute story, Joy! I’m so glad he got away. He has a real friend ……. a “goodest”….one! 🙂
Thank you so much Jessie! LOL! It was a fun one to write. 🙂
A lovely story PJ ~ You have a unique writing style ~ 🙂
Thank you John! 🙂
First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if
you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear
your mind before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting
my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
Appreciate it!
I’m not sure that I completely clear my mind. My stories are like finding a thread. I pick up one end and follow it to the end. In other words, my mind comes up with an idea and I start writing and let the words come as they may. I never know how it is going to end up although I do use my mind to “guide” it.
very cute story!!
Thank you! 🙂
I loved it at the end too!
Thank you! 🙂
