Chance And the Butterfly (2011)
“Every few days, the children took the little containers to their desks and examined the tiny creatures. Chance didn’t always manage to get his caterpillar in the rush, but he stopped by the ledge at least once a day, picked out the container with the nick in the lid and checked for movement and growth.
One week after that first morning, on the same day that the new kid, Ken, showed up, Chance decided that he needed to get a real look at Matilda. That was what he had named her. Lunch was the bes...t time. Ms. Samson always went to the staff room then and, after they had finished eating, no one was allowed to be inside. Chance was usually the last to leave, delaying the lunch monitors’ departure and getting his name on the board for refusing to cooperate. Today, when the outside bell rang, Chance went out right away, leaving the lunch monitors behind, mouths agape with shock. He went straight around to another door and reentered the school. The next few minutes he spent in a cubicle in the upstairs washroom.MoreLess
