Inferences about Butterflies and Flowers

In a quaint village nestled between rolling hills, a peculiar phenomenon took place every spring. The villagers noticed that every year, on the eve of the first full moon, a cloud of vibrant butterflies would emerge from the nearby forest and flutter around the village, drawing the attention of residents and visitors alike. Children would playfully chase after the butterflies, while elders shared stories of how this event was a sign of good fortune. However, one year, an unusual storm disrupted the annual gathering, scattering the butterflies before they could arrive. The villagers, anxious and disappointed, awaited the storm's aftermath, hoping for the butterflies' return.

As the storm cleared, the village was left with a mix of trepidation and excitement. In the days that followed, a group of children ventured into the forest, curious to discover if the butterflies had indeed been frightened away. When they entered, they were shocked to find the ground covered in lush flowers that had bloomed overnight, their vibrant colors unmatched by anything they had ever seen. The children began to wonder aloud: Could the flowers, which seemed almost magical, be a sign that the butterflies would still come?

As they explored further, the children spotted glimmers of movement in the trees, their hearts racing with anticipation.
