DON'T INTERFERE WITH NATURE;
Butterfly coming out of a cocoon :
The inquisitive Sarthak kept observing the cocoon of a butterfly. One day, he found that a small opening has appeared in the cacoon. He sat and watched it for several hours as the butterfly struggled to force its body out of the cocoon the butterfly was ready to enter world outside through this little hole.
Sarthak helps the butterfly to come out :
After sometime, it seemed to stop making any progress which was probably due to tiredness. Sarthak took pity on it and with a pair of scissors. incised the rest of the cocoon. His intention was to let butterfly emerge out easily. The little creature had a swollen body and small, shrivelled wings.
Sarthak continued absorbing the metamorphosing insect as its wings enlarged and expanded enough to support the body. "The body of the butterfly was large, which would contract too!" Sarthak thought.
The butterfly was crippled for life
But to Sarthak's surprise, neither happened! The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings! It never was able to fly!
Another day. Sarthak happened to talk to his friend Vishu, who was good in Zoology. Sarthak narrated the case of the butterfly.
The blunder committed by Sarthak!

| SARTHAK AND HIS FRIEND VISHU |
"Oh, you did a blunder, Sarthak." he yelled. "The restricting cocoon and the struggle are part of a process that . make a butterfly. While the kid butterfly comes out through the tiny opening of the cocoon, fluid from its body is forced into the wings making them strong enough to fly and support the body.
That is nature's way of helping the winged one. You did not allow the cocoon to struggle and succeed." "But your supposed 'help' deprived the creatures of nature's help. It can never fly!" continued Vishu.
Nature's way to give one 'wings' :
Nature always makes us struggle so that we can "grow" strong wings to fly and succeed. Whoever has to struggle less, gets less. Whoever faces more challenges, grows stronger wings to fly higher ! Without sufficient struggle, we stay ordinary like this butterfly that didn't have to struggle and was unable to fly.
MORAL OF THE STORY
Nature helps us through struggles and adversities. Less struggle (or adversities) results in lower achievements in life.
In studies:
The more we face difficult study materials and practice to get over it, the bigger success we will have in exams. This is the nature's way of helping a student.
