In Butterflies by Patricia Grace, a clever girl with plaited hair who lives with her grandparents heads to school. At school, she writes a short story about how she killed all the butterflies, as they are pests that bite and eat at her grandparents cabbage plants. The teacher says that butterflies should not be killed as they are beautiful, to which her grandparents said that, "She must buy her cabbage from the store."
Butterflies tells of two perspectives, and how ones upbringing can change the way they see things. The grandparents have been led to believe that butterflies are pests, and a danger to their cabbage plants. The teacher has been led to believe that butterflies are a beautiful part of nature and should remain untouched.
