The story is told of a man who noticed a cocoon on a bush in his
yard. As he started to remove it from the bush and throw it away, he
noticed the end was opening and a butterfly was struggling to escape.
In an effort to help the emerging butterfly, he took it inside and
carefully cut the cocoon away with a razor blade. The butterfly
crawled away from the open cocoon, within a few hours, it died. It
needed the strength it would have gained from the struggle to free
itself in order to survive in the outside world.
