Once upon a time, a curious little girl named Linda went shopping with her mother and younger sister, Alice. On their way, they passed a beautiful courtyard filled with chickens pecking at the grass. Linda watched them with fascination and called out, "Ko-Ko!" The chickens turned to her, delighting the sisters and their mother.

On their way back, Linda felt proud carrying the shopping receipt her mother had entrusted to her. She wanted to show the chickens that she was responsible. But suddenly, a brave chicken with a colorful comb snatched the receipt from her hand. Linda was shocked and called for Ko-Ko to return it.

As the chickens pecked at the receipt, Linda watched in horror as it vanished into their beaks. Crying bitterly, she felt disappointed that none of the chickens would return her treasure. On the way home, she complained about the "mean" chickens, and her family tried to comfort her, but her sadness lingered.

This unusual tale of a little girl and a brave chicken turned into a funny yet sad adventure. Linda learned that even loyal friends could bring unexpected surprises, and sometimes things don’t go as planned. Later, she smiled at the memory of the chickens, hoping their next encounter would be smoother.

Linda and Co-co

Linda is jumping happily, holding her little sister Alice's hand. Mom is walking next to her, looking at the children and rejoicing. They are walking along the road. Their hair is fluttering in the light breeze. Their faces are happy. Nature is all around.

Linda skipped happily beside Mama, holding Alise's hand. "We're going shopping today," Mama announced with a smile. The sun was bright, and Linda felt very grown-up. "Can I help carry things?" Linda asked eagerly.

The Shopping Trip

Linda and Alise standing at a fence, looking at fluffy chickens pecking at grass in a beautiful courtyard.

On their way to the store, they passed a beautiful courtyard. "Look, chickens!" Alise pointed excitedly. Linda watched the fluffy birds pecking at the grass. "They're so pretty," she whispered, pressing closer to the fence.

The Courtyard Discovery

A white chicken with shiny feathers and a bright red crest standing close to the fence, tilting its head curiously at Linda who is smiling.

One chicken with shiny white feathers and a bright red crest approached the fence. "Ko-Ko!" Linda called out cheerfully. The chicken tilted its head curiously at Linda. "I think she likes you," Mama said.

Meeting Co-co

Linda carefully selecting apples at a grocery store while Alise reaches for cookies on a shelf. Mama watching with a proud smile.

At the store, Mama let Linda choose apples for their basket. Alise picked out her favorite cookies while Linda counted items. "You're both such good helpers," Mama praised. Linda beamed with pride at being responsible.

Shopping Adventures

Linda with a serious expression, carefully folding a receipt paper while Mama looks on approvingly.

After paying, Mama handed Linda the receipt. "Can you keep this safe for me?" she asked. Linda nodded seriously, folding the paper carefully. "I'll be very responsible," she promised.

A Special Responsibility

Co-co the white chicken with a red crest running toward the fence where Linda and Alise stand giggling.

On their way home, they passed the chickens again. "Ko-Ko!" Linda called excitedly. The white chicken with the red crest came running. "Look, it's Co-co coming to see us!" Alise giggled.

Return to the Courtyard

Ko-ko, with a check in his beak, jumps away from a surprised Linda, who holds out her hand. Is this happening in a poultry yard?

Linda held up the receipt to show Co-co her treasure. Suddenly, Co-co jumped and snatched it from her fingers! "Hey!" Linda cried in surprise. The chicken ran away with the paper fluttering in its beak.

The Daring Snatch

Linda pressing against the fence watching as several chickens gather around Co-co, pecking at the receipt. Alise with a shocked expression.

"Co-co, come back!" Linda called, pressing against the fence. The other chickens gathered around Co-co, pecking at the receipt. "They're eating it!" Alise gasped as the paper disappeared bit by bit.

The Chase

Linda with tears in her eyes, Mama's arm around her shoulders comforting her by the chicken fence.

Linda's eyes filled with tears as the receipt vanished completely. "I lost it, Mama," she sobbed quietly. Mama put her arm around Linda's shoulders. "It's okay, sweetheart," she said gently.

Tears and Comfort

Linda with a sad expression walking home, Alise holding her hand tightly. Mama walking beside them with a kind expression.

"Those chickens were mean," Linda sniffled as they walked home. Alise held her sister's hand tightly. "Maybe they thought it was food," Mama suggested kindly. Linda frowned, still feeling disappointed.

The Walk Home

Linda sitting at a table stirring hot chocolate thoughtfully, Mama leaning toward her with a gentle expression.

At home, Mama made hot chocolate for everyone. "Sometimes things don't go as planned," she explained softly. Linda stirred her drink thoughtfully. "Even when we try to be responsible?" she asked.

A Lesson Learned

Linda smiling with her hand on her pocket, Alise clapping excitedly beside her in their home.

The next day, Linda smiled thinking about Co-co's funny dash. "Can we visit the chickens again sometime?" she asked Mama. Alise clapped her hands excitedly. "Next time, I'll keep my treasures in my pocket," Linda decided wisely.
