The chicken and the dirty puddle

The dark blue sky casts rain upon the farm Thousands of droplets wetting the farmland below Plants drinking from the rainfall, grass and dirty turning squishy and muddy The wood on the barn absorbs the water as it continues the downpour Next to the barn, a brown puddle slowly starts to form Inside the barn, the animals lay, either sleeping or waiting till the drizzle ends Except for one… The barn door creaks open, out comes a lonely chicken Wandering outside and around, in the sprinkle Its whole body is wet Flapping its wing is ten times harder now “Cluck” says the chicken It continues the journey through the muzzle Until it stumbles upon the dirty puddle. “Cluck- Cluck- Cluck” says the chicken once more in curiosity The Hen decides to step into the murky puddle Splash! Splash Splash Splash! The Chicken splashes and stomps around in the puddle The dirty puddle dirtying its feet and feathers. The barn door creaks open… The hen immediately turns towards the door A flock of chickens has also left the warmth of the barn They walk towards the lone hen Stepping on the puddle, joining him in the splashing Together they splash in the muddy puddle together, as chickens.
