Amidst the lockdown in the previous year due to the covid pandemic, I experienced an amazing incident. In February 2020, I and my family were spending a normal Sunday which we usually do until I went to the bathroom for a shower. In the water bucket, I noticed something very unusual. It was full red had small black eyes two big snapper shaped hands and a red tail with three legs on one side and three on the other. When I went closer to that unusual creature I had never seen, It started snapping its hands! I was shocked. I called my mom and she saw me trembling in fear. I told her about that creature she looked at it with curiosity and told me that it was a lobster. I searched on the internet and saw about lobsters and got some relief. We were going to set the lobster free in our nearby pond when it was announced lockdown from that day. So the lobster would stay with us. We asked my brother who had many fishes to ask what the lobster eats. He told us that a lobster eats worms and he would send us some. We kept the lobster in a transparent glass box filled with water so that we could see it. When I gave the lobster some worms he gobbled it up impatiently. I watched with excitement in my eyes. 


One day during lunchtime when I gave went to give him some worms, I saw that he wasn't moving. I touched him and a skinny layer of his shape but he wasn't there. I was shocked. I called my mom and asked her what had happened she said that the lobster had released his skin. We searched the whole house and found him in a bucket of water. I decided to write a journal about him every day in which I wrote what the lobster did every day. After a few months, we let him free in the pond and whenever I miss him I would read his journal and would think about my newfound pet.
