The Mirabel Sisters In The Butterflies
Everybody knows of Las Mariposas – “The Butterflies.” The Mirabel sisters were well-known in their town. The four sisters were young, innocent, and beautiful.

He wanted her by his side to help with the business. I later found his comment interesting as it became her fate. On day Dede’ recall’s seeing and feeling sad for a caged rabbit and a half-grown doe. She thought she would help them out by opening the cage door and trying to shoo them out, but they remained caged. I think this is when she learned that the animals were more frightened to leave and were actually safe being caged up. They remained safely in their cozy little
