C
When my son, Justin, was 4, he found a caterpillar(毛毛虫) and put it in a jar. Each day he fed it fresh grass and leaves. In a few weeks, the caterpillar was fat and ready to go to sleep. One morning we found the caterpillar was in a cocoon (茧).
He took me to his room. The cocoon had become clear and we could see wings inside. A few days later, a beautiful black moth(蛾子) broke free from its cocoon and began to lay eggs(产卵) on the grass. Justin was excited. He knew a moth or butterfly was about to be born.
The next day, Justin decided to set the moth free. He took the jar outside, opened it, and the little moth flew out. It circled(盘旋) the yard twice, came back, and landed(降落) on Justin's arm. Justin picked it up, threw it in the air, and it came back. He tried over and over to set it free, but each time it would return to his arm. After a few return flights(飞行) to his arm, the moth finally flew off into the tall grass.
I believe the moth, like a person, was afraid to leave what it was comfortable with. It wanted to stay with something familiar(熟悉的), and was afraid to move on and experience (经历) new things. I was once like that little moth. I was once afraid to move. But if I hadn't moved, I wouldn't have been able to watch my wonderful son experience the cycle of life.
