Harold

Have you ever thought that you're not in the right place? Like you were supposed to be somewhere else? Like you are sure that life has made other plans for you? Harold always thought that. Sometimes this make him wake up at nights.

Tonight was the same. He woke up again. He looked at the sky. It was full of stars. Usually there was a lot of clouds and lights everywhere, but not this night. Well, maybe he was still dreaming. He has a lot of dreams. Dreams of adventures and epic tales. Slaying enemies, saving princesses, discovering beautiful places around the world. He loves his dreams but it's just a dream, he'll wake up sooner or later.

Harold loved when he saw the stars tonight. Or it was just his mood of tonight. He knows by the others that he will be moving tomorrow. He's so excited to see new places and new people! He likes meeting new faces and new people. Tomorrow will be the beginning of a big journey!

What you don't know is that Harold lives in a zoo. Harold is a capybara, that giant rodent with the dandy look. But Harold is a little different. Sometimes his keepers thinks he understand them when they talk. Yes he do, but he don't show it. He likes when they play with him and he just show them his affection when they talk to him or scratch him under his belly or his chin. He likes human contacts.

He will miss those people. They are like family for him. He knows them since he was born in fact. they looked after him all the time, when he was sick, and always when he was going well. But tomorrow he will go somewhere else. That's why today he showed them a lot of affection and love, to show them how much he is grateful to all the things they made for him. He's so glad to travel but in the same time he is sad to quit these people and this place.

Maybe that's why he is wake up tonight. He's so excited for all this. Like in his dreams. Tomorrow, a new adventure begins!
