"Benedict, Benedict ..."
-gently, the chicken tapped the eggshell with its pointed mouth, and the cracks on the ivory eggshell became more and more obvious. Finally, under the endless expectation of the hen, its first child came to this magical and beautiful world with hazy eyes.
Mother hen looked at this wet, furry little guy, and her heart was full of happiness, so she couldn't help singing. The hen cried and thought, Other chickens can only catch worms and lay eggs. I must let my child learn other skills to make him better in the future! So the hen took good care of the chicks and planned this grand plan in her mind. Soon, the chicken grew into a cockerel with full wings.
That night, the hen couldn't sleep for a long time. It thinks: chickens can only walk on the ground, and the human world is full of danger. I want it to learn to fly first and practice its self-defense ability. So the next morning, the hen took her chicks to the lawn. It looked at the vast blue sky and said to the cockerel earnestly, "Son, as long as you learn to fly, you will feel more secure.". Come, give it a try! " "The rooster looked at his mother doubtfully, but under the expectant eyes of his mother, the rooster still tried to fly-he looked at the birds in the sky and learned to spread his wings and run quickly. However, chicken's feet are short and thick, and its body is heavy. When it runs, it is not much different from a lame drake. The cockerel didn't fly high, so it fell straight down. The little cock stood up and tried again, and the result was still the same. The helpless hen had to go home disappointed.
At night, hens can't sleep. Looking at the sleeping cock next to him, he thought, since you can't learn to fly, let's learn to swim. It is safe and labor-saving to stay in the water like a duck.
So as soon as the sun was half exposed, the hen woke the rooster and went to a bank. At this time, ducks are already playing in the water. Seeing their lively figures, hens are more confident. It said, "Son, it's good to learn to swim!" " ! You don't have to be scared in the water like you are on the shore. The water world is rich and colorful, and you can have whatever you want. Try it, you will learn! "However, the little cock looked at the deep and wide river in front of him and didn't have the courage to jump. He turned around and looked at his mother nervously. He couldn't help shivering, and his feet trembled violently. The hen patted the cock with her wings: "it's okay, son, you have a mother to protect you!" Try it quickly. " -At this moment, a mother duck swam from the opposite side. She is a well-known warm-hearted person in the village. "Mother hen, do you want your child to learn to swim? "The hen nodded proudly. The mother duck advised, "You'd better give up this dream. Your chicken doesn't have the same webbed feet as our duck, or you will die. The hen didn't agree, and said to the rooster, "Son, you will know if you don't try." You can do it. "The breeze on the lake brushed a few birds, causing ripples. Cock can't help but feel creepy, his legs are weak and he goes straight behind his mother. Seeing the chicken's timidity, the hen ordered, you child, you are not brave at all. You must go swimming. The cockerel looked at his mother in surprise and could only walk forward trembling. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and only heard a "plop"-the rooster jumped up in fear. The cock in the water fluttered desperately, but it still didn't work; Its feathers are getting wetter and wetter, and its body is sinking. The hen panicked and shouted for help. Hearing the sound, the mother duck who swam far away quickly turned around and swam back. She plunged her head into the water-the struggling cock had been safely brought ashore by the mother duck.
The hen put her arms around the panting cock and looked at the mother duck gratefully, unable to speak for a moment. ...
At night, the hen sits quietly in the nest: it seems that chickens only have the ability to catch insects and lay eggs. Although parents have high expectations for their children, they should not impose their wishes on their children-mother duck is right, no matter what she does, she should not go against her natural laws, which will only outweigh the benefits.
