Once a little boy was playing outdoors and found a fascinating cocoon().He brought it home and showed it to his
mum.His mother told him that there was a caterpillar()in it.The caterpillar was going to go through a metamorphosis
(变形)and become a butterfly..
He watched every day,waiting for the butterfly to come out.One day a small hole appeared in the cocoon and the
butterfly started to struggle to come out.
At first the boy was excited,but soon he became worried.The butterfly was struggling so hard to help.He ran to get
scissors,and then walked back.He helped make the hole bigger with scissors and the butterfly quickly came out!
To his surprise,it had a weak body and small,shriveled(wings.He continued to watch the butterfly
expecting that,at any moment,the wings would dry out,enlarge and expand to support the weak body.But neither
happened!
The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a large,weak body and shriveled wings.It was never able
to fly...
The boy didn't know what was wrong.His mother took him to scientist at a local college.He leamed that the
butterfly was supposed to struggle.Without the struggle,the butterfly would never fly.The boy's good intentions hurt the
butterfly.
As you go through school and life,keep in mind that struggling is an important part of any growth experience.In fact,
struggles are exactly what we need in our life.It is the struggle that causes us to develop our ability to fly.
