A dragonfly wants a violin but does not know how to make one. His friend the butterfly helps him get a violin.

A sweet story that shows how small acts of kindness, one after another, can add up to something far bigger and more joyful than you'd expect.

How did all those little gifts add up to make something wonderful?
