Caught in the Wind

Chichi chick looked out of the window. It was beautiful outside with green trees and colourful flowers everywhere. He felt a little breeze on his face. Then he saw some young birds flying about

I can do the same, can't I? Chichi murmured to himself.

"No, you can't," cried Rosie Hen, reading his mind. Rosie hen was babysitting Chichi. She was knitting a blanket for him.

"Why can't I? Everybody is flying!" asked Chichi making a sad face.

"You are still small and young. Let your mom and dad give you flying lessons. Then you can fly all you want," said Aunt Rosie, picking a ball of red wool.

Chichi quietly looked out of the window again. He saw a big bird running in the garden. Coco crow came to see him. "Do you want to have some fun?" he asked Chichi who nodded and said, "But I can't fly."

Coco cawed, "That's fine, look at that big bird. He is Oggy ostrich. You can ride on his back!"

Chichi glanced at Aunt Rosie, who was busy looking for something in her knitting basket.

"Okay," he whispered. Coco helped him get out of the house. But a strong wind blew and Chichi fell. He was lucky to land on Momo monkey's head. Chichi clung to Momo's hair tight. He was scared.
