When I was a kid I used to sit in the house gardens just to watch the butterflies fluttering above the flowers then later at night after a regular walk, I used to look for the hidden fireflies inside the bush of the garden's area. This, one day, I ran towards mother, holding a butterfly and with excitement I said...
"Mama! I caught a butterfly, see how cute is it?".
She smiled at me then planted a kiss on my forehead by saying.
"Honey! You know the butterfly mother is eagerly waiting for its return at her home, my child set her free now so it can go back to meet its mother"

Mother's words touched my heart and immediately opening my clenched fist I let it go then seeing it flying I turned to hug mama, she also smiled lovingly and embraced me into her warmth like a hug, saying...
"you did well my child..you did well!"
