Butterfly for several hours as struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole. Then it
Stopped. As if it couldn’t go further.

cocoon. The butterfly emerged easily but it had a swollen body and shriveled Wings. The man continued
to watch it. Expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge and Expand enough to support the body.
Neither happened.
In fact. The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around. It was never able to fly. What the Man in
his kindness and haste did not understand:

The restricting cocoon and the struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening was A way of
forcing the fluid from the body into the wings so that it would be ready for flight once That was achieved.
