揠苗助長(現代版)蝴蝶的故事AButterfly’sLesson張家興譯

在草地對開的小樹上，掛著一顆虫繭。小樹旁有一個人守候著，且已守候多時，專心觀察虫繭的每一微小變化。虫繭終於開了一個小孔，小蝴蝶也開始慢慢、吃力地鑽出了一點…”Oneday,asmalloppeningappearedonacocoon;amansatandwatchedforthebutterflyforseveralhoursasitstruggledtoforceitsbodythroughthatlittlehole.

突然，一切動作停頓。小蝴蝶似乎耗盡體力，無法破繭而出。Then,itseemstostopmakinganyprogress.Itappearedasifithadgottenasfarasitcouldanditcouldnotgoanyfurther.

守在樹旁的人看在眼裡，心底焦急，決定出手相助。他拿出剪刀，輕而易舉地把虫繭外膜剪開；讓小蝴蝶鬆容地爬出來。可是，爬了出來的小蝴蝶，身體萎縮，雙翼摺。Sothemandecidedtohelpthebutterfly:hetookapairofscissorsandopenedthecocoon.Thebutterflythenemergedeasily.Butithadawitheredbody,itwastinyandshrivelledwings.

守在樹旁的人繼續凝神觀察，等待。他希望見到小蝴蝶伸展雙翼，讓雙翼擴張，變得堅挺，承載身體飛翔。Themancontinuedtowatchbecauseheexpectedthat,atanymoment,thewingswouldopen,enlargeandexpand,tobeabletosupportthebutterfly’sbody,andbecomefirm.

可是，無論他等待多久，小蝴蝶都沒有振翅高飛。小蝴蝶從此只能帶著萎縮的翅膀和身軀，爬行度日。Neitherhappened!Infact,thebutterflyspenttherestofitslifecrawlingaroundwithawitheredbodyandshrivelledwings.Itneverwasabletofly.

這個人顯然有一副好心腸，也有良好願望。可是，他不知道，小蝴蝶要經過掙扎，要奮力由小孔鑽出，才能把身軀的液體輸送到兩邊翅膀，到完全擺繭膜時，才有能力自由飛翔。Whattheman,inhiskindnessandhisgoodwilldidnotunderstandwasthattherestrictingcocoonandthestrugglerequiredforthebutterflytogetthroughthetinyopening,wereGod’swayofforcingfluidfromthebodyofthebutterflyintoitswings,sothatitwouldbereadyforflightonceitachieveditsfreedomfromthecocoon.

活著要經過掙扎。照顧為有助成長。免除掙扎不但無助人的成長，反而使人變得殘缺不全，永遠失去飛翔的能力。(完)Sometimes,strugglesareexactlywhatweneedinourlife.IfGodallowedustogothroughourlifewithoutanyobstacles,itwouldcrippleus.Wewouldnotbeasstrongaswecouldhavebeen.Neverbeenabletofly.
