There was nce a wnderful ld man wh lved everything: animals，spiders，insects and all srts f living things.
One day while walking thrugh the wds，the ld man fund a ccn(茧). He decided t take the ccn hme t watch its beautiful transfrmatin frm a little ccn t a beautiful butterfly.
A few days later，the ccn started t mve. It mved frantically! He sat and watched it struggle and struggle fr several hurs. But it seemed nt t make any prgress. Then the ld man felt srry fr the little butterfly inside，and rushed t its aid. With a pair f scissrs and gently， he cut a little pening in the ccn s the butterfly culd cme ut. And then the butterfly came ut f its ccn. It had a swllen bdy and small，fragile wings，but it never was able t fly.
He was quite puzzled. Had he accidentally killed the little butterfly? N, it was still mving a little bit. Maybe it was sick. Then he decided that the best thing he culd d fr the butterfly was t place it gently back int its ccn. He did s，and placed a drp f hney n it t seal the ccn，leaving the butterfly t nestle(处在) in its natural state.
The next day he nticed that the ccn was mving again. It struggled and struggled. Finally the butterfly brke free frm its ccn and stretched its wings ut. Its beautiful wings were filed with wnderful clrs! It tk ff! It was flying!
The wnderful butterfly flew and flew till it was almst ut f the ld man’s sight. What a jy! He exclaimed! But then he started t think: what did I d wrng by trying t help that beautiful little butterfly ut at first?

Finally, the answer came ut. The butterfly has t struggle and struggle while inside the ccn. They strengthen their wings thrugh the prcess f pushing and struggling. That's just what they are designed t vercme in rder t be strng enugh t fly. Hwever, cutting the little pening n the ccn, the ld man had denied the pprtunity the butterfly needed t be strng. Naturally, it was unable t fly.
Smetimes struggles are exactly what we need in ur life. They are part f ur life jurney that everyne has t g thrugh. We develp ur strength t survive the inevitable strms f life by vercming struggles. It is struggles that make us well prepared fr life in the future. Living a life with n bstacles, yu will never learn t fly like the butterfly. Remember nature needs n help, just n interference.
