Butterfly Myth

Boy meets girl and butterflies start growing in his stomach. At first it starts with him just getting a stomach ache and not knowing why. But the more he meets the girl the worse his stomach ache becomes. When he is by himself he thinks about the girl, and accidentally burps out a butterfly. He’s confused. He talks to the girl again but this time in the middle of their conversation, his stomach ache gets really bad and an entire hoard of butterfly erupt from his stomach. He turns around in embarrassment but then the girl stops him from leaving and hands him something. It’s a jar with her own butterfly flying around in it, showing him that she gets butterflies in her stomach from him as well.
