Pip the Brave Chick

In a sunny land, there lived Mama Hen and Mama Duck. The Hen had sprightly chicks, who followed her everywhere, chirping amusingly. The Duck, in turn, had fluffy ducklings who loved to splash in the water and quack.

One lovely morning, as the sun lit the dewdrops on the grass, Mama Hen led her chicks down a narrow path toward the forest. The chicks chattered noisily, picking up ripe berries and shiny pebbles along the way.

Suddenly, Mama Duck appeared with her ducklings, marching in a neat row toward the pond.

“Good morning, Mrs. Feather!” said Mama Duck cheerfully. “Perfect weather for swimming, isn’t it?”

“Hello, Mrs. Quack! A bit warm for morning, I’d say. We’re off to gather healing herbs in the forest,” clucked Mama Hen. “Lovely to see you all!” she added, nudging her chicks forward. She gently hurried the smallest one, Pip, who always lagged behind collecting colorful pebbles.

For a moment, the chicks and ducklings mingled on the path, then each group went its way – chicks to the forest, ducklings to the pond.
