A Bunch of Butterflies
Priests don’t like confetti, it makes a mess.
The bride and groom rarely like rice, because it hurts. So the latest thing at weddings, at least in America, is butterflies.
What could be nicer than having a bunch of butterflies released into the air around the marriage couple? Companies are now springing up in the US to meet the new demand, but animal rights groups are concerned. How are the butterflies caught, how are they transported to the wedding and what happens to them afterwards?
The wedding party thinks the butterflies fly away, but often the insect cannot survive in their new environment and die.
GLOSSARY:
spring up – surgir

Calmly the voice at the other end of the line replied, “If so, be sure to have someone call to cancel the appointment.”
GLOSSARY:
outraged – ofendido, injuriado
bellow – gritar, berrar
