Me and my Mom saved the day


Hey, everybody. I got to tell you what happened today! Me and my Mom are heroes. Mostly me, but a little bit mom too.

Ok, so it was time to go feed them crazy horses and the chickens. Mom told me to go get the horses and make them come to their feedin' place. Don't know why she told me, I always do it cause that is one of my jobs 'round here. Anyway, I got them and we was going to feed them. But there is a Momma Chicken down there and she's got little tiny fuzzy babies. I got to counting and there was some missing. Mom heard them crying so she went in the pen to look for them. Guess what? The were in one of their water dishes! Two of 'em, all wet and sad looking. They musta got hot and went for a swim, and then they couldn't get out. They looked really sad.

My Mom picked them up and was talking to them. She dried them off a little bit with her shirt and then we sat with them in the sunshine to help them dry some more. I noticed that they still looked a little dirty, so I gave them a bath. They tasted funny. Kinda like a chicken nugget that fell on the floor. Anyway, after I washed 'em, Mom set them in a pile of their food so they could eat. Now, that Momma Chicken was not even caring about them, so I went over to see why she was ignoring them. Know what? She pecked me on the nose! For no good reason! So I went and sat back with my Mom.

We stayed there for a little while until them babies looked like little fuzzy baby chickens again, instead of little mice with wings. Then Mom put them close to their Momma and they ran over to her and started telling her something. I think they were telling her not to peck me on the nose any more cause I saved their little lives and gave them a bath and all. But I'm not real sure 'cause I don't talk the chicken language.

Well, I gotta go. I am gonna try to get Mom to make me a cape. After all, a good hero always wears a cape!
