In Walden by Henry David Thoreau
Look at the paragraph at the bottom of 995 that begins, "The life in us is like the water in the river." This paragraph centers upon the rebirth that is possible once we have opened ourselves to nature and to our true inner being. Within this context, what is the "moral" of the story of the beautiful bug that hatched after being buried many years in an old wooden table?

The "moral" of the story of the beautiful bug that hatched after being buried many years in an old wooden table is that nature has the power to rejuvenate and bring forth new life even after a long period of dormancy and apparent death. This serves as a metaphor for the potential for personal growth and renewal that humans can experience when they reconnect with nature and their own true selves. Just as the bug needed time and the right conditions to transform and emerge as a beautiful creature, so too do individuals require patience, self-reflection, and a connection with the natural world to fully realize their own potential.
