Once upon a time, a daughter of the heavenly spirits was born. Her golden hair waved gently to the wind and her lips were as red as a rose; she was full of grace and as lovely as a flower. Her heart was also very kind. She was named Koripsihea.*
As Koripsihea got older, she learned new things about taking care of plants and singing with them, about helping wild animals and talking with them. Her mother taught her one more very important thing to never talk and meet with humans.
After Koripsihea’s 10th birthday, her darling aunt got ill by a disease that could be cured only by a medicine out of a very rare flower that grew only on Earth, so Koripsihea went to find it. The flower grew in a dark, murky forest by the river Floris. Koripsihea looked for the precious flower almost everywhere and got so exhausted that she couldn’t look for it anymore, so she sat on a rock.
Suddenly, Koripsihea heard a sound… a crack… and a little dog came out of the bushes. Koripsihea had never ever in her life seen such a creature, and she got so surprised that she followed the dog. She was wondering what that creature was. The dog didn’t notice Koripsihea, so it jogged back to it’s owner.
Koripsihea followed the dog to a human girl. She got very scared and recalled her mother's words not to meet with humans, but the human girl smiled, greeted her and asked if they could go for a walk together. Koripsihea thought that if she went for a walk with the human girl just for five minutes, nothing bad would happen. So she went. They walked and talked and laughed and shared some stories about pets and wild animals. They had a lot of fun and they became friends. While they were walking together joyfully, Koripsihea's father watched them in anger, disappointed.
Returning back to her parents, Koripsihea reccaled about the flower, but it was too late. Her parents got very angry at her, and as a punishment sent her to the fairy where she had to do all the hardest work like cleaning floors.
That night she couldn't sleep. She was upset on herself and on her parents too. She wanted to see her friend. Koripsihea made a plan to escape.
The second day on her punishment, Koripsihea escaped to the same forest where the human girl usualy went for a walk. They met again, they were happy.
The fairy had to put a spell on Koripsihea, because she ran off of her punishment. The fairy knew that was a rule, but she felt a little sad for Koripsihea because she liked the friendship of the two girls. The spell sounded: the next time Koripsihea meets with a human, she will lose the ability to fly; the second time a human talkes with her, she will become a butterfly and only four hours a day she could be a girl; and the third time Koripsihea comunicates with a human being, she will turn into a butterfly forever and become a constellation.
Everything described in the spell happened. Koripsihea then became a butterfly-constellation. She then twinkled mirthlessly with her butterfly wings in the night sky.
Koripsihea thought that she would stay in the sky forever, but the fairy took pity of her , so she took off one quarter of the spell. Then, every second day one hour after the sunrise Koripsihea could be a girl again, and one hour before the sunset she would turn back into a constellation. Koripsihea was happy.
