Long ago in a small garden, live ten caterpillars and also ten hibiscus and Roses. At first they were all friendly. Until one day, rose named Okit arrogantly said.

"Hey you caterpillar! Do not continue to feed our leaves! "
"Yeah right! See ... our leaves spoiled, you guys better get out of this park! ", Replied the other roses.

Caterpillars feel very sad. They did feed the leaves of flowers in the garden. But if they do not eat, they would starve to death. Finally, with the humility they intend to go from the park. However, hibiscus prevents the caterpillars to go.

"Hey, you guys don’t leave," Rena the hibiscus said to the caterpillars,

"You can eat the leaves of our hibiscus in this park."

"Yes, we are pleased to share our leaves to you," said another hibiscus.

Caterpillars are very grateful for the goodness of hibiscus and said.
"Thanks, you guys helped us."

Finally, in the garden, a rose is the most beautiful flower because it leaves them intact. Sometimes a few roses mocking hibiscus flowers cause their leaves due to worm-eaten holes.

Once, a man came to the park and he says.

"I'll take a few flowers here. Oh no ... this hibiscus leaves eaten by caterpillars. I better take this any of five roses, the leaves are still good. "

Then the man pulled out five roses from the garden and go. The park was grieving, especially roses. They lost five of its members. Shoe flower suddenly whispered to caterpillars.

"We should be grateful to you. If you not eat our leaves, we may also be taken by humans like the five roses. "

In the park are now only five remaining roses, five of them too afraid to be taken by humans too. Finally they realized their arrogance and said.

"You're the caterpillar, please forgive our arrogance. You can now take our leaves. We fear will be lifted from the ground like a fifth of our brothers. "

"But the roses, leaves it's yours, your right to give it to us or not," said Hili the male caterpillars.

"No caterpillar, we are very sorry indeed," said Okit,” we should give our leaves to feed you. Didn’t all of fellow creatures should have to each other mutual assistance? "
"That's right kit. It could be other flowers here will be plucked out next time by human. "

Hearing the words of both the flower caterpillars is much moved and a caterpillar become excited and said.

"Thank you for the flowers, you're very good to us," shouted Hili with teary eyes,”someday we will repay you!"

Several days passed, after the caterpillars eat the leaves of roses and hibiscus, ten of them turn into pupae. In recent weeks it hatched cocoons and the caterpillars that turn into a butterfly is very beautiful. The flower was amazed at the change, and one of them said.

"Wow ... you guys have changed shape! You are now winged and beautiful! "

"Thanks," said Hili who now have become a butterfly, "Now we will fulfill our promise. We will repay you. "

Ten butterfly flower help by spreading the seed. They use his flying ability to spread the seeds of roses and hibiscus evenly in the park. The flowers are very grateful to the butterfly. Now the butterflies are no longer getting the leaves from the flowers, but honey is sweeter and more delicious than the leaves.

Thanks to the help of ten butterflies, a few weeks later the number of flowers in the garden grew. Now there are hundreds in the garden of roses and hibiscus. Life in the park now filled with happiness.

But in the midst of happiness, a man suddenly came back. All occupants of the park were surrender if there is interest to be revoked again by the man.

"Remember this park even though you are deprived by it," shouted Okit the roses to the whole flower. Those words strengthen the hearts of the flowers to stay strong. And when they were ready to accept the situation, man is actually saying.

"Oh God, this park now became so beautiful! The flowers are much more numerous and now there are butterflies around it. I'll keep these flowers in order to remain embedded and water it every day. "

Then the Man left without even plucked a flower. All occupants of the park cheering happy because no one flower get revoked. The whole roses, hibiscus, and butterflies are now living happily. Until now, that's the reason why the butterflies want to help spread the seeds of flower, namely to repay flower that has given them the leaves.
