neither happened in fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings 4 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 to get through the tiny opening were nature s way of forcing fluid 液体 from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life if we were allowed to go through our life without any
