5.8 Self-Reliance
1. What was the man watching? Was he happy or sad about what he was watching?
2. What did he do? In helping the struggling butterfly did he think he was helping or hurting the butterfly?
3. What did he end up doing? How?
4. Are there situations in your life, where you would like adults to help you, such as: your school projects, your homework? cleaning your room? By taking their help all the time (occassionally everyone needs help and appreciates it) are you helping or hurting yourself in the long run? How?
