The Butterfly in a Bottle Poltu was wide awake in his bed.He had had a marvelous dream in which he had won the football match in the inter-school competition.He was getting ready to receive the trophy when the alarm rang，so loudly that it jarred him awake.
But Poltu wasn't too unhappy at the intrusion.He ran straight to his study table.There，in an empty jam bottle，was the treasure.A colourful little butterfly.How difficult it had been to catch jye.ai.It had kept flying away from his grasp.But catch it he did，without a net，too.And now it was going to be part of his biology project in school.
The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month.Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise.But Poltu was going to do something different.He was going to present a live creature --- this butterfly.
Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly，red，green and blue.How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings!Poltu had made a few holes on the cap of the bottle to let air pass through，and added tender leaves for the butterfly to nibble on.He might have trapped the creature，but he cared for it.
Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher，Poltu dressed hurriedly，and left for school.His school was walking distance from his house.He took a short cut through the backyard of Sinha aunty's house，a stretch he loved walking through.The breeze was very pleasant as it had rained slightly the previous night.The garden smelt of sweet-smelling flowers，jasmine and "mogra".Poltu glanced at his bottle every now and then and smiled at the butterfly fluttering its wings.
When he reached school，the gate wasn't wholly open yet.For once Poltu was early to school.A few boys were playing football in the field.Any other day would have seen Poltu joining them without a second thought.But today，he walked straight into his class.He opened the bench window and placed the bottle on the windowsill.
Paragraph 1：
The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass，on the delicate wings of the butterfly，and added a shine to them._________
Paragraph 2：
While going back home，he again took his favourite route through Sinha aunty's garden._________
【答案】The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass，on the delicate wings of the butterfly，and added a shine to jye.aim.The butterfly looked simply beautiful in the sunshjye.aie.In a few minutes，the window was surrounded with boys，looking admirably.In the biology class，Poltu's teacher praised him for presenting a live creature which made it possible for the class to study a living creature so closely.Poltu felt like a star.
While going back home，he again took his favourite route through Sinha aunty's garden.In the bottle，the butterfly didn't move.Poltu shook the bottle but still there was no response.He opened the lid and let in some fresh air，which made the butterfly move a little.Standing in the garden，and looking at a few birds jumping in the trees，Poltu slowly shook the bottle gently.The butterfly came out and then off it flew away.Holding the empty bottle，he felt empty himself，but happy that he had sent the butterfly back to nature.
