In the spring, Jacob’s class learned all about the life of butterflies. On<br />
a large table, the teacher placed beautiful pictures of butterflies.<br />
Everyone got to choose one for art class. All the other children had<br />
already made their picks and returned to their seats. Now they were<br />
planning what kind of a butterfly they would make out of modeling<br />
clay and silk paper. But Jacob stood frozen, unable to decide.<br />
“What kind of a butterfly are you looking for?” The teacher had come to<br />
stand next to Jacob.<br />
“One that has big and beautiful eyes, just like my sister <strong>Pearl</strong>.”<br />
“Butterflies have compound eyes, which are quite dif ferent from ours.<br />
With them, they can see a special kind of light that is not visible to<br />
people,” the teacher explained.<br />
“A bit like <strong>Pearl</strong>. Except that <strong>Pearl</strong>’s eyes are more beautiful,” Jacob said<br />
quietly.<br />
