Once upon a time, there was a chicken named Chirpy and a fish named Fins who were best friends. They lived in a magical village where all the food talked.
One day, Chirpy and Fins went to the grocery store but they couldn't seem to agree on what to buy.
Chirpy wanted to buy milk for breakfast but Fins wanted juice. They finally agreed to buy both.
When they got home, they found out they had no salt for their salad, so they went back to the store. This time, Chirpy wanted to buy pepper while Fins wanted bread.
They finally agreed to buy both, but on their way back, they saw a table full of soup, vegetables and bread. To their surprise, they found out that the soup was made with salt, the vegetables were seasoned with pepper, and the bread was fresh and soft.
So, they decided to have a picnic with their new-found food, and they lived happily ever after. The end.

Reflections

1. What were Chirpy and Fins' favorite foods?
2. Why did they go back to the store twice?
3. What did they find on their way back home?
4. How did the food at the picnic taste?
5. How do you think the chicken and fish felt at the end of the story?
