The story of the butterfly

A young lady found a cocoon of a butterfly

One day a small opening 

appeared

She sat and watched the butterfly for several hours

as it

struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole

Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further

So the young lady decided to help the butterfly

She took a pair of scissors and

snipped off the remaining bits of

cocoon

The butterfly emerged easily but

it had a swollen body and

shriveled wings

The young lady continued to watch it,

expecting that any minute the wings would

enlarge

and expand enough to support the body,

Neither happened!

In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life

crawling around

It was never able to fly

What the young lady in her kindness

and haste did not understand :

The

restricting cocoon and the struggle

required by the butterfly to get through

the opening

was a way of forcing the fluid from the body

into the wings so

that it would be ready for flight once that was achieved

Sometimes struggles are exactly

what we need in our lives

Going

through life with no obstacles would cripple us.

We will not be as strong as

we could have been and we would never fly

So have a nice day and struggle a little and teach well
