Help Your Child to Succeed with The Chicken that Snored

 

If you read this short blurb elsewhere, you are at the right place: 

I have created a children’s book titled The Chicken that Snored. It is filled with “Success Principles” and I’d like to reward anyone who takes time to help me with their input.

Every day (starting today) I will publish a chapter of the book in my blog. I would love people to read it and comment as to what principles for success in life (business, social, financial, emotional, relational) would apply to what happened in the chapter.

As my “thank you” to anyone who comments at least once, will be notified when the book is made available FREE on Amazon. And, I’ll have a special surprise gift for anyone who comments on all ten posts. (The book has 9 chapters so when you comment on today’s post and all the other nine, you’ll get the special gift! You don’t have to comment on the day the post is published but you do need to comment on each of the posts to qualify for the special gift).

Thanks for your help!

Chapter One:

The Mysterious Snoring Egg

In the distance, Daddy Rooster crows, announcing a new day as the sun rises on Farmer Frank’s Farm.

Mother Chicken lives in a henhouse which is the smaller rustic shed next to the chicken coop. There is a broken down “chicken pen” but it is so worn down it hardly looks like a fence so all the chickens are allowed to hunt and peck everywhere out on the farm.

Mother Chicken became hungry and wanted to leave the henhouse to scratch in the dusty farmyard and find some food to eat. Before leaving, she made sure that One, Two, Three and Four were all there, all the same size and all quietly sleeping in their shells. She covered One, Two, Three and Four with straw to keep them warm while she would be gone.

Wormy the worm also lived in the hen house. He enjoyed watching life as it happened from his darkened corner so as not be Mother Chicken’s lunch.

After all four eggs were accounted for, Mother Chicken quickly ran out of the henhouse to find something to eat. She did not want to be away too long from One, Two, Three and Four.

She said “Hello” to Timothy Turkey as she scurried by. She politely said “Hello” to Pinky the mother pig, who was busily feeding her new pile of piglets.

Brutus the bull and Ink Spot the cow saw Mother Chicken running by. “She certainly is a chicken with a purpose”, they told each other. They stopped chewing to tell their young heifer Mini to say “Good day”, as it was the neighborly thing to do.

Mary the mare was grooming her little Colt Stevey, as Mother Chicken raced by; they both said “Hi”.

Now with all of the greetings were done, Mother Chicken ran all she could. Mother Chicken found and ate all that she could. Then she ran back to the hen house as fast as she could.

Mother Chicken soon returned and uncovered the straw very carefully to check on her eggs. She counted One, Two, Three and Four; she counted very carefully. They were are there, safe and sound.

A new day was born when Daddy Rooster announced the rising sun. As always, before Mother Chicken left the henhouse to scratch for her breakfast, she counted and gave her love to One, Two, Three and Four. 

One, Two, Three and Four were the same color. One, Two, Three and Four were the same size. One, Two, Three and Four were all there; quietly sleeping in their shells. She lovingly covered them all with straw.

Mother Chicken then ran down the chicken ramp, and being especially hungry she passed Timothy Turkey, passed Pinky, and totally ignoring Harold. Before they all could ask the same questions that they always asked, she told Up and Down that, “Yes all was fine with One, Two, Three and Four”. She then added that it was almost time for One, Two, Three and Four to hatch!”

After eating all that she could eat, Mother Chicken returned to her dusty henhouse. Right away she noticed … something had changed.

There they were, One, Two, Three and Four; and …five?

She counted again, One, Two, Three and Four.  And…yes, there was an extra egg; Egg Five! Egg five was a different color and egg five was much bigger. And there it was, sitting right in the middle of eggs One, Two, Three and Four.

And egg five was not sleeping quietly. Egg five was not quiet at all. Egg five snored!
