“Must Struggle!”

Must Struggle! 

Once a little boy was playing outdoors and found a beautiful caterpillar. Then He took it and brought to home to show his mother. “Mommy.. I found this outside, can have it as a pet? He asked. “It’s ok my darling.” his mother replayed. 

The little boy got it in a large jar and put plants to eat, and a stick to climb on, in the jar. Every day he watched the caterpillar and brought it new plants to eat. “Here, I bring new plants for to eat. Keep growing up!” He was very happy.  

One day the caterpillar climbed up the stick and started acting strangely. The boy worried then called his mother “Mommy.. Mommy …. Something happens, my caterpillar Mommy”. His mother came and told him that the caterpillar was creating a cocoon. And then the caterpillar was going to go through a metamorphosis and become a beautiful butterfly.

“Really, Mommy? The little boy really wondered to know the changes his caterpillar would go through. He watched every day, waiting for the butterfly to appear. One day it really happened, a small hole appeared in the cocoon and the butterfly started to struggle to come out.

“Wauu…?? It’s amazing. It’s the time, come on come out!” At first the boy was excited, but soon he became concerned. The butterfly was struggling so hard to get out! It looked like it couldn’t break free! It looked desperate! It looked like it was making no progress!

“Ohh.. No! Come on! “He said hopelessly. The boy was very anxiety then he decided to help. “I will help you! Wait!” He ran to get scissors, and then walked back immediately. He snipped the cocoon to make the hole bigger and the butterfly quickly emerged!

As the butterfly came out the boy was surprised. “Wau… it’s very beautiful. It’s amazing!” it has wings. It can fly” his expecting. But after knowing detail, he was wrong because it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. He cried loudly, he did not know what to do to his butterfly. At any moment, the wings would dry out, enlarge and expand to support the swollen body. He knew that in time the body would shrink and the butterfly’s wings would expand.

            But neither happened!

The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.

It never was able to fly…

As the boy tried to figure out what had gone wrong his mother took him to talk to a scientist from a local college. He learned that the butterfly was SUPPOSED to struggle. In fact, the butterfly’s struggle to push its way through the tiny opening of the cocoon pushes the fluid out of its body and into its wings. Without the struggle, the butterfly would never, ever fly. The boy’s good intentions hurt the butterfly.

As you go through school, and life, keep in mind that struggling is an important part of any growth experience. In fact, it is the struggle that causes you to develop your ability to fly.

NOTE:

Quotation words, “ ”, should be acted in an appropriate sound.
