破繭的蝴蝶
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.One day,a smallopeningappeared,he stood and watched the cocoon for several hoursas itstruggled to force its body through that little hole.But itseemedto stop making any progress,it appeared as if it had gottenas faras it could,and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help it.He took a pair of scissorsandsnipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterflythenemerged easily.But the butterfly only can crawl around withaswollen body and shriveled wings,it was never able tofly,becauseit had a swollen body and small,shriveled wings.
What the man didn`t understand was that the restricting cocoonandthe struggle required for the butterfly to get through thetinyopening were God`s way of forcing fluid from the body ofthebutterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flightonceit achieved freedom from the cocoon.
一個人揀到一個蝴蝶繭。一天，繭上出現了一個小孔，繭內的蝴蝶寶貝努力掙扎着自己的身體通過繭孔。然而，它折騰了幾個小時也沒有進展.繭裡的蝴蝶寶貝似乎已經使盡了全部力氣，再也鑽不動了。
這個人決定幫助它，他用剪刀把繭的剩餘部分剪開，蝴蝶寶貝很輕鬆地鑽了出來。然而，可憐的蝴蝶卻只能拖着大肚子、夾着小翅膀在地上爬來爬去，永遠不能飛起來，因爲，它的身子很臃腫，翅膀卻很小、萎縮着。
這個人不知道：上帝的意思就是讓那個大肚子蝴蝶寶貝從那個奇小無比的小口爬出來，那個小窄口在它通過時把它體內的營養液從腹部擠壓到翅膀，這樣蝴蝶就可以在破繭而出、獲得自由的時候展翅高飛了。
