A few years ago， my husband and I were on an island for a long week with our two little daughters． As we talked about what to do next， our daughters jumped in and told us exactly what hey wanted to do． We agreed．

As soon as we walked into the main area of the butterfly museum， we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies． They all flew with their colorful wings， y girls were jumping up and down and I knew we had made the right decision to the museum． They were having so much fun．

I turned to our guide and asked curiously （好奇地），" How long do butterflies live？"

She said， "about ten days．" "What can butterflies do in ten days？"

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

After we said goodbye， I couldn't stop thinking bout what the guide had said． She was right． We all have something to offer the world with the time we have． If we spend the time doing what we can for others． we all can make the world a better place．
