Summary
A desperate caterpillar was trapped in a jar and struggled for freedom. A praying mantis was looking at it and soon got trapped instead of the caterpillar. It has no hope to escape, however, a transformed butterfly, the former caterpillar, came to the mantis and frees the mantis with kindness.
Opinion
I think this story tells us that you should not see somebody as inferior and If you do that, you will be the same, you will regret it when you become the reverse. The mantis really shows that situation. At First he was making fun of the caterpillar, and for me the sign that the mantis made looked like saying "I will kill you.". Later when he was caught, he reminded the attitude toward the caterpillar regretfully. However, the caterpillar was so generous that he came to save him. I think what the caterpillar did shows unconditional love like from the bible. I think that's why this story is called "Parable".
