Questions 1 - 6 Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
A small gap appeared in the cocoon, through which the butterfly had to appear. A boy, who accidentally passed by, stopped and watched how the butterfly was trying to get out of the cocoon. It took a lot of time, the butterfly was trying very hard, and the gap was as little as before. It seemed that the power would leave the butterfly soon.
The boy decided to help the butterfly. He took a penknife and cut the cocoon. The butterfly immediately got out, but its body was weak and feeble, and the wings were barely moving.
The boy continued to watch the butterfly, thinking that now its wings would spread and it would fly.
However, that did not happen.
The rest of its life the butterfly had to drag its weak body and wings that weren't spread. It was unable to fly, because the boy did not realize that an effort to enter through the narrow gap of the cocoon was necessary for the butterfly, so that the life-giving fluid would move from the body to the butterfly's wings and that the butterfly could fly. Life forced the butterfly to leave its shell after a very hard effort, so that it would become stronger and would be able to grow and develop. Challenges in life make us stronger.
