Once upon a time, there was a little chick named Chirpy. Chirpy lived in a coop with all his feathered friends and loved to snuggle in his soft bedding every night. But one day, when Chirpy went to his nesting box to lay eggs, he noticed that all the pellets for him and his friends to eat were gone! He needed to find food fast or they would all go hungry.

Chirpy remembered seeing a big bag of pellets at the farm store and decided to go get some. However, Chirpy was too small to reach the bag, so he came up with a creative solution. He asked a friendly mouse to help him grind the pellets into a fine powder, then he could carry it back to the coop in his beak.

The mouse happily agreed and the two of them worked together to grind the pellets. When they finally got back to the coop, Chirpy’s friends were amazed at how much food he had managed to bring back. And Chirpy became a hero among all the birds in the coop, who now laughed and chirped every time they saw him! From that day on, Chirpy was always the one responsible for bringing food to the coop. The end.
