A butterfly flew beside a high ocean cliff and fluttered its
wings wildly as it darted among the flowers. As he flapped his
wings, he stirred up little breezes that floated into the air and
stirred up breezes of their own.
|
|
And on a windy night, the breezes became a huge storm, which
pummeled and rocked a small ship sailing across the ocean to
a secret destination.

|
|
Where Mr. Griffin waited for it beside a lagoon on the dark and
stormy night, while the air violently shook the the trees above him.
While Mr. Griffin waited nervously and impatiently for the ship
to arrive, he did not notice on of the trees swaying perhaps a
little too dangerously. He was still looking at his watch when
it crashed down on top of him.
|
|
The small ship pulled into the lagoon later than expected,
and Mrs. Griffin looked for her husband from the deck. She
screamed when she saw him pinned under the tree. When the
vessel landed by the beach, Mrs. Griffin quickly left the boat
and ran to her husband.
|
|
|
Mr. Griffin reached out to his wife with tears in his eyes.
Mrs. Griffin grabbed his hand and screamed to the boat for help.
She cried out again when she felt his hand go limp in hers. She
saw his eyes were still open, no longer crying but filling up with
drops from the falling rain. She closed his eyes with her hand,
and lay there next to him crying.
