One morning, my son, Chilly, found a
carpenterworm(毛毛虫)
unexpectedly and put it in a jar. Each day he couldn’t 36 to
visit the little guest. Few weeks later we discovered it
37 in a cocoon (茧).
Chilly surely knew a moth (蛾) or butterfly was about
to be 38 . He was 39 to
know what gift nature was about to give him. Gradually we found it half transparent
and we could 40 the wings of the unborn. Soon, a
moth broke free, and then 41 eggs, completing
its life cycle.
The next day, I 42
Chilly it was time to set it free. He took it 43
and opened the jar. It circled the yard twice, came back, and 44
on Chilly’s arm. He picked it up and threw it in the air. The moth
repeated its 45 pattern. He tried over and
over, but each time it would 46 to his arm so
that Chilly had to give up.
The next day he attempted to
set it free again, and after a few repetitions the moth finally
47 into the grass.
Like a 48 ,
I believe the moth was afraid to 49 what it was
comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something
50 , scared to move on and experience something unknown.
I was once that little moth. My
cocoon was my mother’s 51 , in which I was
comfortable, and hated to fly too far away from it. I was 52
when my first job required me to move to a new city. Humans are
creatures of 53 . We resist change. However, if I hadn’t
moved, I would not have experienced many 54 and
wonderful things or met many of my friends. So each move gave me the
55 to learn and experience, but best of all, I met friends.
