How to train a butterfly
In some parts of the universe that they call ‘Planet Earth’ (because, as it is well established, both factually and realistically, there are other worlds beside this one), butterflies have been trained for millennia. The guidelines are rather strict: one has to be well versed with regard to the thousands of species because there are also thousands of cycles required for one’s abilities to stay hidden among the bushes (only for the thick-skinned), and last but also mandatory, the secret ingredient is vital.
To commence, you need to know what you don’t know you are looking for, but that is also the last step. Butterflies consist of a wide variety; to name but a few, there are the seven main scientific families, such as long-footed, guzzlers, mufflings, crawlers, kahunas, pusillanimous, and puckered types. Once you feel you are beginning to master the idea of variety, you have to accept the height required for your hiding spot. It is of utter importance to conceal your presence without hiding. In order to successfully carry out the task of training a butterfly, camouflaging in plain sight is paramount. If this step is missed, the goal has failed from experience.
Next, most important and essential for such an endeavour, is to check the sub-species in each class. For example, the guzzlers have quite a strong tendency to impress you with their flight, just above the soil, shedding every now and again and sipping on rotting papaya, while, on the contrary, the pusillanimous mingle and fuse with their surroundings, which makes it possible and a certainty to be out of sight and out of mind. Beware, though! Once you do spot one, you will recall it for the rest of your life and vice versa. Also, they all talk about it – the puckered type. It seems they retain memories from before the process of transfiguration, as proven by facts, not real (unusual) encounters.
If all the above are met and you made sure that the secret ingredient is not to be shared while the process is signified in as many patterns as possible, then a butterfly has infinite chances to be trained and fly above all expectations.
