Short Story -The butterfly &The cocoon

The butterfly & the cocoon

A small crack appeared on a cocoon. A man sat for hours and watched carefully the struggle of

the butterfly to get out of that small crack of cocoon

Then the butterfly stopped striving. It seemed that she was exhausted and couldn’t go on trying

The man decided to help the poor creature. He widened the crack by scissors. The butterfly came

out of cocoon easily, but her body was tiny and her wings were wrinkled

The ma continued watching the butterfly. He expected to see her wings become expanded to

protect her body. But it didn’t happen! As a matter of fact, the butterfly had to crawl on the

ground for the rest of her life, for she could never fly

The kind man didn’t realize that God had arranged the limitation of cocoon and also the struggle

for butterfly to get out of it, so that a certain fluid could be discharged from her body to enable

her to fly afterward

Sometimes struggling is the only thing we need to do. If God had provided us with an easy to

live without any difficulties then we become paralyzed, couldn’t become strong and could not

fly
