TheButterfly
Story
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared.

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it
struggled to force its body through that little hole.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as
if it had gotten as far as it had and it could go no further.

Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took
a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of
the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.

But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any
moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to
support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither 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.
