A man found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly. One day a small oappeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it sto force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any p. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go nfurther.

    So the man decided to hthe butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

    The butterfly came out e. But it then had a swollen body and small, shriveled(皱缩)  w.

    The man cto watch the butterfly because he'd expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge to be able to sthe body, which would contract(缩小) in time. So he waited patiently.

    Nhappened! In fact, the butterfly sthe rest of its crawling(爬行) around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to f. What a shame!

    The man, in his kindness and fast action, made a m. He did not understand that the suffering and the struggle rfor the butterfly to get through the tiny hole were nature's way of ffluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings sthat it would be ready for flight once it achieved its ffrom the cocoon.

    Sometimes struggles are ewhat we need in our lives. If nature allowed us to go through our lives wany difficulties, it would weaken or even disable us. We would not be as sas what we could have been. We could never fly!
