Solution
Last summer, Emily had been working tirelessly on her garden. She had planted a variety of flowers, envisioning a vibrant and colourful display. Every morning, she would spend hours tending to the blossoms, ensuring they were thriving under the warm sun. One day, while she was admiring her handiwork, she noticed a rare butterfly that had landed on one of the flowers. She had never seen such a beautiful specimen before. Excitedly, Emily ran into the house to grab her camera, hoping to capture the fleeting moment. By the time she returned, the butterfly had flown away. Disappointed, Emily realised that she had missed the opportunity. However, the memory of that elusive butterfly lingered in her mind, and she decided to create a butterfly-friendly corner in her garden. Months later, as Emily walked through her garden, she saw a familiar flutter of wings. The rare butterfly had returned, drawn by the blossoms that had bloomed since their last encounter. Grateful for the second chance, Emily captured the moment on her camera, cherishing the beauty that had eluded her once before.
