Question

Several months ago, my husband(丈夫) and I were on an island for a long weekend with our five-year-old twin daughters. As we went back and talked about what to do next, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly（蝴蝶） museum,” said Emily and Hanna.

As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flapped (拍打) their colorful wings.

My girls were jumping up and down, and I knew it was right for us to take them to the museum. They were having so much fun.

I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious (好奇的) and asked, “How long do butterflies live?”

She said, “About ten days.”

“What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked.

The guide stopped, looked at me, and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.”

“Wow,” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you.”

After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide said. She was right. We all have something to give the world with the time we have. When we put our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a difference.

Appreciate (欣賞) the impact (影響) you can have on your family, friends, co-workers and neighbours. Like a butterfly, you have your own way of making a difference in the world.
