Butterfly’s wings
One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon（茧）, a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it was struggling to 36 its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten 37 it could and it could go no further. So the man decided to 38 the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and 39 the remaining part of the cocoon. The butterfly then 40 easily.
But it has a swollen（肿胀的）body and 41 wings. The man continued to 42 the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the 43 would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would 44 the time span(跨度). Neither happened! 45 , the butterfly spent the rest of its life 46 around with a swollen body and small, shriveled（褶皱的）wings. It 47 was able to fly. What the man did in his 48 and haste（匆忙）did no good to the butterfly. He didn’t know the 49 cocoon and the struggle 50 for the butterfly to get through the tiny 51 were the natural way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings 52 it would be ready for flight once it achieved its 53 from the cocoon.
Sometimes the 54 is exactly what we need in our life. If we are allowed to go through our life without any 55 , it would not be a good thing to us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.
