One day a man found a cocoon (茧) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come our easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.

The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid (流体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.

译文：

一个人发现了一只蝴碟的蛹。有一天,那个蛹破开了一个小洞。他坐在那里，看着蝴蝶挣扎着从这个小洞里挤过去，看了几个小时。然后它停了下来，好像再也动不了了。于是这个人决定帮助蝴蝶。他拿出一把剪刀，把剩下的茧剪下来。蝴蝶很容易出现，但是它的身体肿胀，翅膀萎缩。这个人继续观察着它，希望它的翅膀随时都能变大，足以支撑它的身体。什么都没有发生！事实上，蝴蝶的余生都要爬行了。它永远不会飞了。那个人的善良好意是不明智的：正是有了蛹的约束,蝴蝶从那个小洞中承受着自然的压力挣扎着出来它的身躯奋力挣脱茧的束缚而能够飞翔。有时侯我们的生活也需要阻力。如果我们按照自己的意愿不受约束的生活,那么就是不完整的。不经历苦难我们就不会成长也不能飞翔。
