Yellow Butterflies

Every year, there is a time when thousands of little yellow butterflies appear. You can’t see them just anywhere, they congregate in certain places. They are only there for a couple of days. But while they are there, you can’t miss them. Some years there are more than others – this is a good year for them.

They can really cheer up your morning drive. Sitting in traffic, you feel like you are surrounded by them. You look out of your window and it feels like you are in a yellow cloud.

But then the traffic ahead of you clears and you have to move your car. At which point you realise that they are all over the road as well. And there are so many of them that when you start to drive, you start to add to the numbers of them lying there on the road.
