Mistaken Request
Once there was a man who ask God for a flower and a butterfly. But instead God gave him a cactus and a caterpillar.
The man was sad. He didn't understand why his request was mistaken. But he thought to himself : Oh well, God has too many peop;e to care for ... and decided not to quetion.
After some time, the man went to check on his request that he had left forgotten.
To his surprice, from the thorny and ugly cactus a beautifull flower had grown. And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most beautifully butterfly.
Moral of the story : God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to him. What you want ... is not always what you need. Today's thorn is tomorrow's flower.
