The innocent gardener
There was a Avid gardener named Arun . He and his wife use to live in a small cottage near Nepal . Arun used to work as a gardener in a big Palace . From the start of his work he liked gardens . 
Seeing the interest Arun had on gardens his wife planted grass and many plants in front of their house giving Arun a surprise . Arun was very happy. One day when he was gardening in his garden he found 8 little eggs . He was very curious to know about them . He called his botanist friend Ram and asked about it . He said that these tiny little eggs were eggs laid by a butterfly .
He sat near those eggs watching them hatch . He spent day and night in front of those eggs & finally 1 day he saw the head of the larvae coming pit with two little antennas . They were a struggling a lot to come out of the eggs . So the gardener tried to help them , he pulled the head gently out from the egg . He was very happy and relaxed seeing the cute little smile on the face of the larvae .
He kept food to the small little creatures . He took care of those creatures as if they were his own children . According to a book it takes 4 weeks to a larvae to grow into a fully grown adult butterfly . Already 3 weeks were done , more 1 week was left . He was very curious . Finallly it was the 4th week , but to his surprise the larvaes died . Arun could not bear this . He went to Ram and asked why did it happen like this ? Arun was stunned listening to Ram's reply . WHAT DO YOU THINK THE REPLY WAS ?....
Ram said " The struggle to break out of the egg helps the larvae to send blood to its wings and the head push helps the head to remain small so that the tender wings can support it through its 4 weeks cycle . "
Arun was depressed . His eagerness to help a creature destroyed a beautiful life . Struggles help all of us ,that's why they say a little bit of effort goes along a way to develop our strengths to face life's difficulties. In other words failure prepares us for success .
Parents sometimes go too far protecting us . Because they won't their children to struggle as how they did . An American doctor said that " over protected children are people who face many difficulties and challenges in their life "
So I request parents to prepare their children to the road not to prepare the road for their children .
