Summary
In the story, the grandmother plaited her grandaughter's hair for school the granddaughter grab her bag and an apple. Her grandfather was waiting at the door to walk her to school but stop to talk to the neighbor about how his granddaughter goes to school and she lives with him and his wife, then the neighbor says how terrific she looks with two plaits in her hair. The grandfather says how she is clever and writes in her book every day. After school, the girl come home and her grandmother was picking beans as the grandfather was hoeing around the cabbages. The grandmother asked if she brought her book home, then ask her to read it. The granddaughter talk about how she killed butterflies and then was asked about what the teacher thought. the granddaughter said" the teacher said butterflies are beautiful creatures. They hatch out and fly in the sun. The butterflies visit pretty flower she said and they lay their eggs and then they die. You don't kill butterflies, that what she said" The grandfather said" because you see, your teacher she buys all her cabbages from the supermarket and that why"

Critical Literary Question: what do the words suggest?
In the short study 'butterflies' the words suggest that the daughter move in with her grandparents and she write in her notebook every day and that she wrote about how she killed a butterfly but her teacher told he that you can't kill butterflies they die after the grandfather say the teacher buys her cabbages from the supermarket and it ends with him saying and that way.
