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 out 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 拼搏 to get through the small opening to get its freedom from
