Choo Choo The Chicken
Choo Choo was a chicken. He was called “Choo Choo” because his father ran a
company called Bane’s Trains. Their motto was - not the point of the story!
Continuing…. Choo’s Choo’s father ,Bane, wanted Choo Choo to inherit the company
when he passed.
But Choo Choo didn’t want to. In fact, he had a much stranger dream….
As we all know, Choo Choo was a chicken. ◇ And chickens can’t fly. But Choo Choo
could! At least, he thought he could.
For his whole life, Choo Choo had wanted to fly. He had watched documentaries
about penguins ◇,another bird species that people said couldn’t fly. But Choo Choo
had seen them leap off icebergs into the ocean. They could surely fly! And if they could,
well, why couldn’t he?
He believed that the chickens could fly if they just tried.
I mean, Choo Choo had flown before! He could only make it a few metres into the air
before falling back down again, but it was a work in progress!
(Actually all chickens could do that. They just never wanted to.)
Anyway, after a long day of chickens telling him he couldn’t do it, Choo Choo felt
determined to prove them wrong.
And so, the next morning, Choo Choo jumped of a cliff to prove he was
right!!! It was a really big cliff.
In fact, Choo Choo was falling for so long, he had enough time to eat a sandwich that he
had
cleverly hidden within his feathers.
Just as he was polishing off the last crumb he hit the ground.
