One day, a boy found the cocoon(繭) of a butterfly and brought it home. A few days later, the boy saw a small ___16___in the cocoon. He sat and watched for several hours as a butterfly struggled to make ___17___body through that little hole. Suddenly it stopped.

The hard work of ___24___out of the cocoon makes the fluid(液體) from the butterfly’s body into its wings. It helps the butterfly be ___25___to fly.
