Once upon a time, there was a small, beautiful butterfly named Titli. She was very colorful—yellow, blue, green, and red. She lived in a garden in India. She loved flying from flower to flower, drinking nectar, and playing with her friends.
One day, she heard some birds talking about a place called America. "America is so far away," said a sparrow. "It's across the big ocean. But the flowers there are huge and full of sweet nectar!"
Titli's eyes widened. "I want to go to America!" she chirped.
Her friends laughed. "You? You're just a tiny butterfly! You can't fly across the ocean. The wind will blow you away, or you'll get tired and fall into the water."
But Titli was determined. She started practicing every day. She flew higher and longer than any other butterfly. She learned how to ride the wind currents so she wouldn't get tired.
Finally, she said goodbye to her friends and started her journey. She flew over cities, forests, and mountains. Then she reached the big blue ocean. It was scary. The waves were huge, and there was no land in sight.
Titli kept flying. When she got tired, she would land on a passing ship to rest. Sometimes, friendly dolphins would jump out of the water to cheer her on.
One day, a big storm came. The wind blew hard, and rain poured down. Titli was scared, but she found a small boat and hid under a canvas cover until the storm passed.
After many days and nights, she saw land! It was America. She saw the Statue of Liberty and big skyscrapers. She flew into a beautiful park full of giant, colorful flowers.
The nectar was delicious! She made new friends—American butterflies who were amazed by her journey. "You flew all the way from India?" they asked. "You are the bravest butterfly in the world!"
Titli was happy. She had proven that even though she was small, she could do big things if she believed in herself.
