Once upon a time, it was New Year's Eve and everyone was getting ready for a big party. A group of friends decided to have a countdown timer to ring in the new year with a bang! They popped open some champagne and threw confetti in the air. They put on their party hats and masks to get ready for the fireworks show.

Just as the timer hit zero, they heard a loud pop. But instead of fireworks, out came a whole bunch of colorful rubber chickens! The friends were so surprised they didn't know what to do!

So, they started a chicken dance party and the rubber chickens joined in too. It was so much fun, they even forgot about the fireworks. The next morning, they woke up and realized it was 2023. They couldn't stop laughing about the silly rooster dance party they had the night before.

The end.
