VNA annual butterfly release slated Sunday
SHAMOKIN — A handed down Indian legend tells the story of a butterfly.
“If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it,” the legend says. “Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly cannot reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants a wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly the freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and granted.
