Struggle a Little - Then Fly!
By Author Unknown

A man found a cocoon of a

butterfly, that he brought
home.
One day a small opening
appeared he sat and watched
the butterfly for several hours.
It struggled 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 farther.
So the man decided to help the
butterfly. He took a pair of
scissors and snipped off the
remaining bit of the cocoon. The
butterfly then emerged easily,
but, it had a swollen body and
small,
shrivelled wings. He continued
to watch the butterfly, he
expected that, at any
moment, the wings would
enlarge and the body would
contract. Neither happened!
In fact, the butterfly spent the
rest of its life crawling around
with a swollen body and
shrivelled wings. It was never
able to fly.
The man acted with well-
intentioned kindness but he
didn't understand the
consequences. The restricting
cocoon and the struggle required
to get through the tiny opening,
were nature's way of forcing fluid
from the body of the butterfly
once it achieved its freedom
from the cocoon.
