题目内容:
Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I changed my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud. As Ireached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable andfrom somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or fivetimes. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt, I wouldn’t have found itamusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but invain. For a second time, I took a stepbackwards while myattacker paused. I wasn’t sure what to do. After all, it’s just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging at me onlymoments earlier. He had a mate andshe wasdying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fanher. I could only admire the loveand courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me forhis mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give herthose extra few precious moments of life. His courage inattacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemedadmirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
