What do you say that, butterfly? Will you agree to the bargain? It's a good one: eternity for one day of flying among the flowers.
The butterfly rejects my offer. What is it saying?
It says it will not exchange one day of happiness for eternity of misery. Damnable butterfly! The audacity to refuse a god's bargain! To defy a god! To defy God!
I shall curse you, butterfly, you colorful hedonist, I shall curse you to the end of your days!
It says something. It dares to answer! What is it?
"I do not mind your curses, oh God, for my day is short"
