　　 one day, as i walked through the garage toward my office, i was taught a useful lesson about life.
　　 as i opened the garage door, i saw a large moth (飞蛾) on the wall. it was very beautiful moth, which was spreading its big brown wings (翅膀). there were two bright red ＂tails＂ on the wings, which made it more like a butterfly than a moth.
　　 perhaps because of the sound of the door opening, the moth flew immediately out. there is a window on the ceiling (天花板). the moth tried its best to get out through the invisible (看不见的) wall of the window glass.
　　 i raised the garage door wider in hopes of helping the moth to escape from the garage. however, it tried to fly higher and farther from the door and got trapped (困) in a spider’s web (网). worrying that the beautiful moth would become a spider’s dinner, i picked up a broom (扫帚) to help it fight against the spider’s web. however, it became even more frightened. after it got away from the web, the moth pumped (扇动) his wings hard and ran into the glass. but no matter how hard it tried, the moth remained in the cage of the garage.
　　 i left the garage with the door open. i thought by simply turning his focus to one side, he could escape the garage through the door. sometimes, people need to choose the right way before applying effort.
