Prompt: During Caldwell's first spring, he was playing with his siblings in the tall green grass when suddenly he found himself all alone. The world was big, quiet, and unfamiliar. A moment later, though, he heard a strange noise in the distance. Maybe it was his siblings! Without another thought, he took off. Right when he thought he was never going to reach the noise, he stumbled into a dirt clearing, and, consequently, a gathering of fuzzy, yellow creatures his size! Instantly the air was filled with their squawks of shock, verbalizing his own surprise. He was frozen in place, cowering in a ball, but the noisy animals were more curious, poking and prodding him with their beaks. Suddenly, with a louder quack, the poking ceased. Slowly and reluctantly he eased one eye open, his vision filled with the confused face of a mother hen. The creatures were baby chicks! After a laugh and shake of her head, the hen nudged Caldwell to his feet and kept him walking until they reached the rabbit hutch. There, Caldwell's mother greeted him with a hug (and a scold!) before thanking the hen and shooing him inside to reunite with his siblings.
