Here we go..
Selamat malam, selamat tengah malam lebih tepatnya.. hehe. Kali ini saya sedang tidak dalam mood saya untuk menulis seperti sebelumnya, dikarenakan saya sedang bete dengan salah mata kuliah umum saya, Bahasa Indonesia. Ya, mahasiswa bahasa Inggris pun masih harus menghadapi rumitnya bahasa Indonesia, ditambah lagi dengan rungsebnya bahasa Inggris itu sendiri. What a -___-
Malam ini saya mau share sebuah cerita, yang mengandung sebuah nilai moral. Apa itu? Tanpa berpanjang lebar, langsung saja... here we go, a butterfly's story....
Once upon a time, small monarch caterpillar
had a dream to be a beautiful butterfly. He had previously heard that every
caterpillar had a chance to be butterfly.
In the morning, he told his dream to Red Ant.
“I want to be a butterfly,” Monarch
Caterpillar said.
“Why?” Red Ant asked.
“I want to make this garden more beautiful. I
want to help the plants by carrying their pollen to another plant. It will help
them to make seeds and seeds will make plants. I want to be beautiful
butterfly. I want to fly. I will add color to this garden and women will love
to see me.”
“Are you kidding? You are just crawling
animal. Crawling slowly is your destiny. Be your self! Don’t dream and wait the
bird eats you,” Read Ant laughed at Monarch Caterpillar.
Monarch Caterpillar was disappointed with Red
Ant’s response and then he moved to the other leave.
When he met Black Caterpillar, he told about
his dream to be a butterfly.
“Be your self! To dream will disappoint you.
I do not have parents and none told me that I can be butterfly. Just enjoy
crawling. Don’t try anything. Don’t try to fly. You are not butterfly. The
woman are afraid of you, caterpillar. Too much effort will disappoint you. Just
be your self. Do not change anything.” Black Caterpillar gave advice to Monarch
Caterpillar.
Monarch Caterpillar was too nice to debate
Black Caterpillar. He chose to avoid confrontation. He moved to the other
leave. He wanted to grow to be butterfly but when he saw himself, he saw a
caterpillar. His friend’s advice made him think that to be a butterfly was not
being himself. He had a dream to help the plant, make the garden more beautiful,
and attract the women. He wanted to improve himself but on the other hand he
wanted to be himself.
A green beautiful butterfly came to him.
Green Butterfly was curious to know why Monarch Caterpillar was sad.
“Why are you so sad?” Green Butterfly asked.
“I wanted to be butterfly,” Monarch
Caterpillar answered.
“Why do you want to be a butterfly?”
Monarch Caterpillar told his reason to be a
butterfly and his friend advice about “being your self”.
“Your friends are right but being a
caterpillar is not enough. You should be yourself but do not kill your dream.
Don’t reject the opportunity to grow. To do nothing or be passive is not to be
your self.” Green Butterfly explained.
“So, can I be a beautiful butterfly?”
“I was a caterpillar but I am a butterfly
now. You have opportunity to be butterfly. Keep crawling and find sufficient
food. Find the safe place to make chrysalis to protect your self and wait for
the process. Believe that you can be a butterfly. Believe that you can fly. Be
your best self.” Green Butterfly encouraged Monarch Caterpillar.
Green Butterfly explanation brought hope to
Monarch Caterpillar.
“Grow better! Be your best self!” Green
Butterfly said, flying to the big tree.
Day by day, Monarch Caterpillar were crawling
and feeding. He tried hard to save himself from the predators. Once day, when
he was ready to transform, He made protective shell and formed chrysalis. In
chrysalis, he turned to be a handsome butterfly.
His dream comes true. He becomes Monarch
Butterfly. He can fly. He makes the garden more beautiful. He becomes his best
self. Be your best self!
Yep, that's the story. Got what the moral story? Don't just be your self, be your BEST self! Don't only walk, RUN!
