Why are Haitians so affraid of this Butterfly?
"Why?" I asked. "Just open the gate!"
"There is a big butterfly right at the gate where I have to hold to open it," she said. "come open it for me."
"Just shake the gate it will fly away," I replied.
Long story short... I had to get out of bed just to go outside and open the gate just because there is a butterfly on it.
"I am not affraid," she said, "I am sure it bring good luck!"
Yeah right... It bring so much good luck that I have to be the one benefits from all that good luck... SMH!
