One day, a boy found the cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small 36 in the cocoon.

So the boy 38 to help the butterfly, thinking the butterfly might be 39 .He took a pair of scissors and cut the hole 40 .The butterfly came out of the cocoon but it 41 a little different. It had a weak body and small, thin 42 .The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬行) around with a weak body and thin wings. It was never able to fly.
The boy acted with 43 but he didn’t understand why it could be like this. When a butterfly crawls out of the cocoon, it must struggle. The hard work of 44 out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液体) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be 45 to fly.
