Cocoon and the Butterfly

Many of us know that a beautiful and colourful butterfly comes from an unappealing worm! Here is the story of a butterfly that was never able to live its life as a normal butterfly.

One day, a man saw a cocoon. He loved butterflies and had a craze for its wonderful combination of colours. In fact, he used to spend a lot of time around butterflies. He knew how a butterfly would struggle to transform from an ugly caterpillar into a beautiful one.

He saw the cocoon with a tiny opening. It meant that the butterfly was trying to make its way out to enjoy the world. He decided to watch how the butterfly would come out of the cocoon. He was watching the butterfly struggling to break the shell for several hours. He spent almost more than 10 hours with the cocoon and the butterfly. The butterfly had been struggling very hard for hours to come out through the tiny opening. Unfortunately, even after continuous attempts for several hours, there was no progress. It seemed that the butterfly had tried its best and could not give any more try.

The man, who had a passion and love for butterflies, decided to help the butterfly. He got a pair of scissors and tweaked the cocoon to make larger opening for the butterfly and removed the remaining cocoon. The butterfly emerged without any struggle!

Unfortunately, the butterfly looked no longer beautiful and had a swollen body with small and withered wings.

The man was happy that he had made the butterfly come out of the cocoon without any more struggles. He continued to watch the butterfly and was quite eager to see it fly with its beautiful wings. He thought that at any time, the butterfly might expand its wings, shrink the body and the wings could support the body. Unfortunately, neither did the wings expand nor the swollen body reduce.

Unfortunately, the butterfly just crawled around with withered wings and a huge body. It was never able to fly. Although the man did it with a good intention, he did not know that only by going through struggles the butterfly can emerge to be beautiful, with strong wings.

The continuous effort from the butterfly to come out of its cocoon would let the fluid stored in the body be converted into wings. Thus, the body would become lighter and smaller, and the wings would be beautiful and large.

If we don’t want to undergo any struggle, we won’t be able to fly!

Struggles make us shine!

茧与蝴蝶

我们中的许多人都知道，美丽多彩的蝴蝶来自一只不吸引人的蠕虫！这是一只蝴蝶的故事，它永远无法像普通蝴蝶一样生活。

有一天，一个男人看到了一个茧。他喜欢蝴蝶，并热衷于蝴蝶的美妙色彩组合。事实上，他曾经花很多时间在蝴蝶周围。他知道蝴蝶是如何努力从丑陋的毛毛虫变成美丽的毛毛虫的。

他看到茧上有一个小开口。这意味着蝴蝶正试图走出去享受世界。他决定观察蝴蝶是如何从茧中出来的。他看着这只蝴蝶挣扎着破壳了好几个小时。他花了将近10多个小时与茧和蝴蝶在一起。这只蝴蝶已经挣扎了好几个小时，才从那个小小的开口里出来。不幸的是，即使连续尝试了几个小时，也没有进展。看来蝴蝶已经尽力了，不能再试了。

这个对蝴蝶充满热情和热爱的男人决定帮助蝴蝶。他拿了一把剪刀，调整了茧，为蝴蝶腾出更大的开口，并取出了剩余的茧。蝴蝶不费吹灰之力就出现了！

不幸的是，这只蝴蝶看起来不再美丽，身体肿胀，翅膀小而枯萎。

这个男人很高兴他让蝴蝶从茧中出来，没有再挣扎。他继续看着这只蝴蝶，非常渴望看到它用美丽的翅膀飞翔。他想，蝴蝶随时可能展开翅膀，缩小身体，翅膀可以支撑身体。

不幸的是，翅膀既没有展开，肿胀的身体也没有减少。不幸的是，这只蝴蝶只是带着枯萎的翅膀和巨大的身体爬来爬去。它永远无法飞行。虽然这个人这样做是出于好意，但他不知道，只有经过挣扎，蝴蝶才能变得美丽，拥有强大的翅膀。

蝴蝶不断努力从茧中出来，会让储存在体内的液体转化为翅膀。因此，身体会变得更轻更小，翅膀会变得美丽而大。

如果我们不想经历任何挣扎，我们将无法飞翔！

奋斗让我们熠熠生辉！
