<DIV><FONT size=4>It goes something like this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Butterfly was seduced by Pinkerton, a visiting
sailor. In order to do that, he married her in a Japanese
wedding, which she took seriously. He was just playing around with
her. He abandoned her, went back to the US, and got married
there. Then he somehow found out he had a kid, came back to Japan with
his US wife, and told Butterfly he was taking the kid back to the
US. She stuck a knife through her chest to give him something to
remember her by.</FONT></DIV>
