Once upon a time, there was a pupa who lived in the stage of life cycle. He was tired of being stuck in his cocoon, and wanted to become a butterfly like his mate. One day, he decided to eat his way out of the cocoon, but as soon as he emerged, he realized that he had made a mistake. Instead of beautiful wings, he now had tiny legs and could not fly.
He felt sad and didn't know what to do. But then he heard a wise old butterfly say, "Don't worry pupa, every cycle has its ups and downs, just keep crawling and you will become a butterfly eventually". And so, the pupa followed the advice and continued on his journey, and eventually, he did become a beautiful butterfly, much to his delight!
The end.
