Little Blue Butterfly Melody

# Melody, Melody

# Listen to the music Let your mind run free

# Melody, Melody

# From a castle or the jungle

# To the Arctic Sea... # WHALE SINGS

# It could be as loud as a storm

# Quiet as a sigh

# As dainty as a dance step

# Or soaring high in the sky

# Melody, Melody

# The musical imaginings of Melody. #

So, are you ready for your next surprise?

I can't wait.

'Today, my mum is taking me somewhere really special.

'It's a butterfly house. Butterflies are my absolute favourite.'

A heater.

'Inside the butterfly house is really hot.

'It must feel like this in the jungle.'

-Did you feel that go past your face?

-A butterfly.

-They're everywhere.

-They're amazing.

There's lots of twisty creepers.

Another one just flew past our heads!

'I think they must like it in the hot jungle.'

There he is.

There's one that's got stripes and kind of yellow and black.

-What might they think this table is?

-Flowers.

Yeah, they're going to think it's... Oh! Gone right past us there. Oh!

He just landed on Fudge.

Look, there's some other pretty colour flowers.

That butterfly came right past your nose.

There's a little one over there, flapping around.

Oh, there's a giant one up there but it's not a real one,

it's made out of wood, it's like a giant moth.

These plastic containers have got sugar solution in them.

Why do you think there's sugar in there?

-For them to get their energy.

-Here's one.

And he's having a nice big drink there

and he has beautiful patterns all over his wings.

'Butterflies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and colours.

'Some look like they've got eyes on their wings.'

There's a blue butterfly there. Right, there's a butterfly.

He's got lovely big black kind of antennae and eyes there.

'Butterflies start life as caterpillars who turn into pupae.

'Inside the puparium there are pupae. It's like a hard coat

'the caterpillars wrap around themselves.

'Inside the pupa, the caterpillar changes

'until one day they come out and they have turned into a butterfly.'

Can you imagine stretching your wings like a butterfly

after you've been in your cocoon?

Would you like a butterfly kiss?

-What's a butterfly kiss?

-Right, close your eyes.

-That tickles!

-See! Just like the butterflies, it's a butterfly kiss.

Mummy, do you have any butterfly music?

There is a piece that always makes me think of a beautiful

butterfly stretching her wings in the sunlight.

See what it makes you think of.

It's called Rhapsody In Blue by George Gershwin.

In the middle of the city, there's a park.

MUSIC: Rhapsody In Blue By George Gershwin

In the cocoon there's a...butterfly!

What a beautiful blue!

An orange butterfly says, "There are more butterflies on the way."

MUSIC CONTINUES

Look, over there! Another blue butterfly.

The little blue butterfly catches the other one

and they fall down towards the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you."

MUSIC CONTINUES

They're having lots of fun fluttering from flower to flower.

Birds! They're flying past too quickly.

They've lost each other!

MUSIC CONTINUES

But wait! The other butterfly rushes over to help.

Aw, they're together again.

That music made me think of some butterflies flying in the sunlight.

What did it make you think of?
