Two neighbors live side-by-side in Texas
A low fence separates their gardens, but much more divides them from each other
One grows flowers; the other raises vegetables
One was born in the U.S., the other in Mexico
One speaks English, the other Spanish
Their differences have kept them so far apart that if one predicts a sunny day, then the other is certain of rain
Even the arrival of a caterpillar causes disagreement
Until the resulting mariposa/butterfly, and its eventual departure, unites them in wonder, sadness and a new understanding of the beautiful world they share
Cast of 3 either gender
