Cheeku
& Dheeku were brother chicken. Their mother had gone out in search
of food. They decided to explore the outside world. They went cluck,
cluck looking busily at the ground imitating their mother. They suddenly
noticed a long worm lying curled up near a fence. They were initially
very frightened. They looked at each other for support. Cheeku slowly
tip-toed to the worm. He took the worm in his beak and started shaking
his head from left to right, just the way he had seen his mother do many
a time. Dheeku was watching Cheeku with fright & fascination. He
suddenly heard a squeak. The worm was pulling Cheeku forward. Cheeku
surprised by the strength of the worm let go. Then they saw that what
Cheeku had caught was a rat. They ran away as fast as they could.
