In Kavyarsquos village men in trucks take sand awayfrom the river The weather gets hotter and hotterThere is less and less rain
11
Last year the river went dry The butterflies didnrsquot have enough water to mud-puddle

11
Last year the river went dry The butterflies didnrsquot have enough water to mud-puddle

They fly far but wherever they land they make new friends Kavya says squeezing Maryrsquos hand Theyrsquorevery small but theyrsquore also very braveJust like you Laila Miss says
Kavya smiles a smile as wide as a butterflyrsquos wings
15
