Once upon a time there was a butterfly named Midnight Blue, who lived together with her family in a beautiful garden. She had many friends there and always liked to play with them.
Since she was a baby, had dreamed of flying to the top, but her father never allowed it because he said that it was very dangerous due to airplanes, helicopters, strong breezes and that an accident could happen to her and she always paid attention to him, even if she really wanted to fly, she always obeyed him.
Midnight Blue was hurt by the fact that she felt that her dad was the worst and the most demanding because of her friends were allowed to fly to the top and nothing had ever happened to them, then she felt that she was the only boring butterfly and that bothered her a lot. Until one day when she was playing with a friend and was complaining about her parents, then precisely at that moment, their common friends were about to go up and invited them, so their friend said yes, but Midnight denied because her father wouldn't let her; however, their friend told her that her father was not going to find out, that no one was going to tell him anything and they should run away, so Midnight was very scared, but her friend was so intense that she ended up accepting the invitation and they left.
Midnight was very nervous because she knew that what she was doing was very wrong, but at the same time she was very happy because she was going to fulfill her dream of traveling to the top and she was also doing it with her friends . When they reached the top, her friend told her that she had to be very aware of airplanes or helicopters.
Midnight Blue was admiring the gardens from the top and as she was so concentrated, she did not realize that a plane was passing, their friends yelled at her to warn her to be careful, but when midnight realized it, it was too late and the plane hurt a wing of hers; as result, Midnight could not fly and was falling, all her very worried friends tried to help her, though, they carried her together and took her to the wing clinic, midnight was unfortunately very mistreated.
The clinic called her parents and they immediately went there and were really confused because they didn't understand how this could have happened to her daughter while she was in the garden, but when they arrived, Midnight told them the truth. Her father, very upset, told her that he had warned her and yet she disobeyed him, so Midnight apologized and she accepted that her father was absolutely right and told her that she would never do it again.
Her father forgave her and took her home. Midnight, after several years, was already completely healed and she could fly normally, she was old enough to reach these heights, but due to her trauma with the accident she decided to learn little by little and when she had experience she could fly to the top again with much more care.
