CHICKEN LITTLE

Cluck was scratching in the dirt when she saw a moving truck pull up to the farm. She watched as a shy, timid rabbit named Rosie stepped out. Rosie seemed nervous, glancing over her shoulder as if she feared someone was following her.

Cluck's curiosity was piqued. What was Rosie hiding?

One day, while exploring, Cluck stumbled upon Rosie's hidden journal. As she flipped through the pages, she discovered Rosie's secret: she was once a performing rabbit, forced to do tricks and stunts in a traveling circus. Rosie had escaped, but the memories still haunted her.

Cluck felt a pang of guilt for snooping, but she knew she had to approach Rosie with kindness and understanding. She started small, inviting Rosie to explore the farm together, showing her the safest hiding spots, and sharing juicy bugs as treats.

As they spent more time together, Rosie began to open up. She shared stories of her circus days, and Cluck listened with empathy, offering words of encouragement.

One day, while they were exploring, Rosie stumbled upon a forgotten circus poster. The memories came flooding back, and she trembled with fear. Cluck was there, offering a comforting wing and a listening ear.

Cluck noticed Rosie's love for art and creativity. She suggested they create a collaborative art project – a mural on the farm's old barn wall. Rosie was hesitant at first, but Cluck's enthusiasm was contagious. Together, they painted a vibrant, empowering scene: Rosie as a strong, free rabbit, surrounded by supportive farm friends.

Just as Rosie was finding her footing, a familiar face appeared at the farm gate – her former circus trainer, Mr. Blackwood! He claimed to have come for a "friendly visit," but Rosie's instincts screamed otherwise.

Cluck stood firm, positioning herself between Rosie and Mr. Blackwood. "You're not welcome here," she said, her feathers ruffled.

Mr. Blackwood sneered, but Rosie surprised everyone – including herself – by standing up to him. "I'm free now," she declared, her voice steady. "I won't be held back by my past."

But then, Mr. Blackwood revealed a shocking truth: Rosie's siblings, thought to be lost forever, were actually alive and living in a nearby sanctuary!

Rosie was stunned. She had given up hope of ever finding her family. Cluck could see the mix of emotions on her friend's face – joy, fear, and uncertainty.

Rosie asked Cluck to help her investigate the sanctuary and ensure it was safe. Together, they sneaked around the perimeter, gathering information.

Satisfied that it was legitimate, Rosie finally felt ready to reunite with her siblings. The emotional reunion was a beautiful moment, filled with tears of joy and relief.

As they celebrated, Rosie thanked Cluck for her unwavering support and friendship. "You helped me find my strength and my family," she said, hugging her dear friend.

And so, the two friends continued to explore, create, and support each other, spreading joy and kindness throughout the farm.
