The Sorry of Butterfly
This story is copied from Ilchi Lee founder of Dahn Yoga’s articles about brain education. Ilchi Lee writes once upon a time, there lived a group of caterpillars in a great big, green field filled with flowers. Every morning, when the sun came up, they yawned and stretched, and rubbed their fuzzy tummies. “I’m hungry!” they would say before taking big, juicy bites of leaves.
Then they would slide down the leaves, playing and eating all day.
One day, Baby Caterpillar was taking a sunbath on his leaf when he looked up and saw a beautiful butterfly flying in the sky. “Come fly with me,” the butterfly said. “You can fly, too!” But Baby Caterpillar looked at his own short legs and said, “How can I fly? I don’t have any wings!”
A few days later, Baby Caterpillar’s older sister showed him a picture of their father when he was little. She told him a story: “Once, our dad was a baby eater-pillar just like you.
One day at caterpillar school, Daddy said, “I’m going to turn into a flying butterfly someday!” All of Daddy’s friends pointed at him.
