Story and Lesson About the Girl and the Butterfly (Wings of the Soul)

Butterfly, but how does it fly?

The boy opened the box in which he was raising silkworms to check on the cocoons. One of them began to open a small hole from which a beautiful butterfly came out with great difficulty and then flew away. The boy was in pain at the sight of the butterfly struggling so hard to get out, so he decided to help the rest of the bed to get out easily.

And so he brought scissors and sat watching the box until he saw another butterfly opening a hole in the cocoon to get out of it. He hurried and very carefully cut the cocoon lengthwise, and the butterfly came out and sat on the ground motionless.

Wings of the Soul, A Story about Girl and Butterfly

Its wings were attached to its body! The boy tried to help the butterfly by blowing at times and by moving a paper over it at other times, but he did not succeed in his attempt! Then he asked his father about the reason for what happened and learned that the small, narrow hole through which the butterfly comes out is in order to push the blood from its body to the wings so that it can fly!!

Summary

The hardships and difficulties that we encounter are the narrow doors in this life that we must cross to fly with the wings of the soul, seeking heaven. But if we prefer the easy life, including its pleasures, eating and drinking, we will remain like this poor butterfly, lying motionless in the earthly mud, not enjoying the heavenly joys.
