Caleb’s Spring Break
Caleb marked another day on the calendar before sleeping and counted the remaining days to his trip. Right after 15 days, over the spring weekend break from school, he was going to his Grandpa’s farm as his parents would be away on a trip to Paris. He closes his eyes and tries sleeping as he wants the days pass quickly.
This seemed like a dream come true for him. He smiled as he sees his house disappearing from his sight. As a young boy, he felt that a trip to the grandparents’ farm was the best place to visit ever. His dad grew up as part of a large family and every year there would be a reunion in the summer vacations where the entire family would meet.

She told him to watch it grow with time and the memories of the farm would always make him happy. On the ride home, he fell asleep in the car. He dreamed to have his own farm someday and wanted to plant the same kind of trees like grandpa along with taking care of different kinds of animals. He wanted to learn how to drive the tractor and would buy it once he grew up. When they reached home, he woke up and went straight to his room which he missed. He placed the jar on his window sill so the caterpillar would receive the light and fresh air it deserves in the garden. His mum would watch the caterpillar grow every day with him and finally one morning it dried up, split open and a colourful butterfly fluttered its wings. They both felt that it was like a miracle happening when the butterfly flew up into the
