Barnyard Red

The chicken called the roster whos name was Barnyard Red she said that something stirring over in the shed. Then Red replied you must be crazy I could wind up dead that just might be a fox in there and he could have my head. The chicken said to Barnyard are you saying I should go the babies all are hungry they need me don't you know. Barnyard fluffed his feathers and crowed so awlfully low on the inside he was shaking on the outside nothing showed When Red stepped threw the doorway he soon was out of sight the noise you heard was horrible it gave the chicken fright. she ran into the hen house away from all the light she told the other chickens red might die tonight. In the morning when they checked in the shed there was a mess there was feet and feathers and a beak and Red was gone they guessed Oh well the chicken said it could be for the best Red was realy slipping at adding to the nest. Poor Red he should have noticed the meeting by the rock where the chicken and the fox had sat and the keys made for the lock The moral of the story is if your the rooster of the walk be sure you never get to old cause the chickens they do squawk
