 When my son, Justin, was four, he found a caterpillar (毛毛虫) and put it in a jar. Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves. In a few weeks the caterpillar was fat and ready to sleep. One morning we discovered the caterpillar wrapped in a cocoon (茧). It hung from the top of the jar, an example of one of nature’s wonders.

Justin was excited. To him it was like Christmas. He knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about to be born, but he didn’t know what kind. He was curious to know what gift nature was about to give him.

“Dad!” as he ran to me one day. “Something’s happening. Come see!”

He led me to his room. The cocoon had become clear. We could clearly see the wings of the unborn. A few days later, a beautiful black moth broke free from its silky cage and began to lay eggs on the leaves of grass, completing the life cycle of the little caterpillar.

The next day, I advised my young son it was time to set the moth free. He took the jar outside, opened it, and the little moth flew out. It circled the yard twice, came back, and landed on Justin’s arm. He picked it up, tossed (轻抛) it in the air, and the moth repeated its flight pattern. He tried over and over to set it free, but each time it would return to his arm.

Justin gave up. He returned his little pet to the jar. The next day he tried to set it free again, and after a few return flights to his arm, the moth finally flew off into the tall grass.

Like a person, I believe the moth was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something familiar, afraid to move on and experience new things.

Humans are creatures of habit. We hate change. However, if we hadn’t moved, we would not have experienced many new things.
