Butterfly is an abused horse who was rescued by a family and brought to their farm. Butterfly dreams about the other animals left at the farm, especially a pony. Even though the kids, cats, and dogs, play with Butterfly, she wants a friend to call her own. One day as Butterfly was trotting around the farm, she spots a large shade tree. She went under the tree and said, "What if this was a magic tree, and I could wish for anything I want?" Butterfly thought for a while and the words just came out of her mouth. She recited a poem and to her amazement when she was finished, a leaf fell off the tree. Butterfly knew this was a sign of good things to come.
