mantis parable

a caterpillar is caught in a clear jar and tries to get out of it but he cant fly so it is difficult. a mantis comes there and looks around the jar thinking if he could help the caterpillar or not. but he gives up easily. shortly after that the mantis is also caught same as the caterpillar. he tries to get out but the jar is closed by a cap so he cant. then a butterfly comes into the room and flies around the jar, and go away from there. but soon the butterfly comes back to the mantis, and this time he is with his friends, fireflies. the fireflies fly around the cap of the jar and somehow open it so the mantis finally gets out of the jar.

this story is quite short and has no voice but i could easily understand the story. what the film maker wants us to think about is that to help somebody is not a thing you do for someone in charge of something, and having a kind heart is always important. i think the mantis realised how kind the caterpillar was, and that made himself more gentle.
