A few years ago, my husband and I were on an island for a long weekend with our two daughters. As we wondered about what to do1, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do."2want to go to the butterfly museum," said Ariela and Eliana.
As soon as we3into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of4butterflies, all flapping(拍打) their colourful wings.
My girls were5up and down, and I knew we had made the right6to come to the museum. They were having so much fun.
I7to our museum tour guide because I was curious(好奇的), and asked,"8do butterflies live? "She said, "For about ten days." "What can butterflies do9ten days?" I asked. The guide stopped, looked at me and said, "They make the world10more beautiful place." "Wow," I said, "I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you."
After we said goodbye, I11stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have12to offer the world with the time we have.13we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a14.
How thankful it is that you can have the influence on your family, friends and neighbours! Like a butterfly, you have your own way of making the world a little15for everyone.
