I was having some problems today about various things and I told him during lunch that I had to talk to him after school. I did, and told him everything and he told me this story. There was a girl walking through the park, looking a birds and trees and such. She saw this cuccoon hanging from a tree and noticed that the butterfly was really struggling to get out, and looking like it was suffering because it couldn't. So she walked over and carefully opened up the cuccoon, trying to do the "right thing". But when she looked down at the butterfly, it shriveled up and died. The story means that in order to grow (butterfly), we all have to go through certain trials and turbulations (getting out of the cuccoon on our own). I thought that was cool. love and such Courtney ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
