A few years ago, my husband and I were on island for a long weekend with our 3-and 4-year-old daughters. As we went back and thought about1to do next, our girls jumped in and told us their ideas. Ariela and Eliana said that they wanted to go to the2museum.
When we walked3the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flapped (拍动) their colourful 4. My girls were jumping up and down5. I knew we had made the right6to come to the museum. They were having so much fun. I turned to our museum tour guide 7I was curious and asked, "How long do butterflies 8?" She said, "About ten days." "What can butterflies do in ten days?" I asked. The guide stopped, looked at me, and said, "They make the world a more 9 place."
"Wow," I said, "I10 thought about butterflies like that. Thank you!" After we said goodbye, I couldn't 11 thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to 12the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a 13.
There is no14that butterflies make the world a more beautiful place. You can also 15your life like a butterfly and appreciate the effect you can have on your family, friends, co-workers and neighbours.
Like a butterfly, we have our own way of making the world a little better for everyone.
