匆忙的蝴蝶
佚名
有一个人在农场附近的森林里漫步。他热爱大自然,喜欢观察飞鸟,寻找小动物的踪迹。
一天,这个人发现了一只蝴蝶的茧。茧正挂在一棵树的树枝上。能目睹茧破蝶出这一自然奇迹,他感到很激动,每天他都不安地去看看这只茧。几天过去了,茧没有任何活动或生命的迹象。
终于有一天,茧裂开了一个小口。于是,那个人坐在林地上,准备欣赏这场“表演”。他看着蝴蝶用了数小时的时间从一个小洞里向外挣扎。
这个过程一直在持续。那个人越来越没有耐心。接着,茧中的生命好像完全停止了挣扎,看上去它好像已经用尽全力,再也不能更进一步了。
那个人决定帮蝴蝶一把。他回到家,找了把剪刀,然后返回森林,把残留的一点茧剪断。蝴蝶很容易就脱离了出来,但是它的身体又肿又小,翅膀也是萎缩的。那个人坐了下来,继续观察蝴蝶。
他期待着在某一个时刻,蝴蝶的翅膀会变大,伸展开来足以支撑它的身体。他也设想着,蝴蝶的身体能及时变小。然而,两者都未发生。
事实上,这只蝴蝶一生也只能用它肿胀的身体和褶皱的翅膀在周围爬行。它永远也飞不起来了。
这个仁慈又心急的人,不明白茧的束缚与蝴蝶的挣扎是必要的。在蝴蝶从小孔挣扎出来的过程中,液体从身体里挤出,进入翅膀。只有这样,一旦从茧中获得自由,蝴蝶才能展翅飞翔。
有时,奋斗正是我们生存的必需。如果我们没有任何障碍地生存,我们只会成为跛子。
A Rushed Butterfly
Anonymous
A man was walking in the forest near his farm。 The man loved nature。 He watched birds and looked for signs of small animals。
One day; the man found the cocoon1 of a butterfly。 It was hanging from the branch of a tree。 He was excited to witness this miracle of nature as it unfolded。 Anxiously2; the man checked on the cocoon everyday。 Several days passed with no sign of movement or life。
Finally; one day a small opening appeared in the cocoon。 The man sat down on the forest floor; ready to enjoy the show。 He watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole。
The process was endless and the man was getting impatient。 Then the creature in the cocoon seemed to stop making progress altogether。 It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and as though it could go no further。
The man decided to help the butterfly。 He went home and found a pair of scissors。 He returned to the forest and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon。 The butterfly then emerged3 easily but it had a swollen body and small; shriveled4 wings。 The man sat down and continued to watch the butterfly。
He expected that; at any moment; the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body。 He also supposed that the body would contract in time。 Neither of these things happened。
In fact; the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings。 It never was able to fly。
What the man; in his kindness and haste; did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly was necessary。 As the butterfly fought to get through the tiny opening; fluid was forced from the body of the butterfly into its wings。
This way; it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon。
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives。 If we were allowed to go through our lives without any obstacles; it would cripple5 us。
