The Vision

Here's where it started...

You approach a tree and see butterflies in the branches above you. You whistle and the butterflies come down to you and dance around you and the tree. You clap your hands in delight and the butterflies dance more excitedly. But then, you clap once, too loud, and you frighten all the butterflies away....

You are in the audience of a theater. The oil and wax of the footlights smoke as you watch the illusionist performs. He opens a huge, multicolored Chinese umbrella and, as he tells tales of the Far East, a dozen pairs of small Chinese fans descend from within the umbrella and dance around his head... You think of butterflies....
