Changton: A boy who came from grandpa's dream

Thanks to grandpa's dream, Changton has his own tale!

Here's the tale, according to grandpa's words. One morning in early January, while waiting for his visitors on a couch facing the main entrance of the house, grandpa snoozed and had a dream. In his dream, he saw a tall, well built, young guy riding an elephant, which was adorned splendidly, towards the house. When approaching the house's main entrance, the guy made the elephant stopped, climbed down, and walked into the house. When he approaching grandpa, he bowed at Grandpa's feet. Then the phone rang. Yes, it was a call from mami from Australia, telling grandpa about her pregnancy.

This dream together with a fortune-teller who said to grandpa few months earlier that he would meet someone whom he'd related to from the past life makes grandpa to believe strongly that Changton has followed him from the past life. Whatever it is, mami loves the drama! At time when she heard about the dream, she still didn't know about the sex of her baby. But grandpa insisted that the baby is definitely a boy (plus the fortune-teller whom mami went to see a month early also predicted that she will have two boys and stressing that she would get pregnant within a few months time - oh, what a superstitious family;-)

Although we didn't know the name of the young guy who rode the elephant, mami was struck by the name Changton which grandpa used to call the type of the elephant the young guy rode. Since then, mami's unborn baby boy has his nickname, Changton.

Here's Grandpa and Changton. Reunited happily in this life. Ha ha ha!!
