The girl and boy falls in love in school and are separated by the girls parents. Heart broken the boy dies. Her parents arrange her marriage, on wedding day the girl goes to pray on his grave, when the grave magically opens up and she jumps into it to join him. Their spirits, reunited as butterflies emerge from the grave and flyaway never to be separated again.
