One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small 41 in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make 42 body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.
So the boy 43 to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be 44 .He took a pair of scissors(剪刀) and cut the hole 45 .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it 46
a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin 47 .The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The boy acted with 48 but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of 49 out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 50 to fly. If the butterfly never has to squeeze(挤压) itself out of the cocoon, its wings will never get the fluid and it can never fly.
51 struggles are what we need in our lives. If we lived our lives without any problems, we would never learn or grow. We would not be 52 we could have been and we would never fly.
In our lives, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, and sometimes even 53 growth, without it , there’s no way of life. We can’t avoid 54 or problems. So, next time you are 55 a problem or difficulty, remember the butterfly. Struggle a little—then fly!
