Chickens Never Say Hello

On a sunny farm, Chirpy the chicken loved to say hello. But there was a problem—no other chicken ever said hello back! Chirpy wanted to make friends, but the chickens just clucked and pecked the ground. Chirpy felt lonely and wondered why no one greeted him. " - Hello!" Chirpy chirped, but only silence answered. " - Why won't anyone talk to me?" he sighed.

Chirpy decided to find out why no one greeted him. He waddled over to the rooster, who puffed out his chest. " - Why don't you say hello?" Chirpy asked. The rooster only crowed loudly and strutted away. Chirpy tried asking the ducks, but they just quacked and swam away. " - This is harder than I thought," Chirpy mumbled.

Chirpy's feathers were ruffled, but he didn't give up. He approached the sheep, who were munching on grass. " - Hello, sheep!" Chirpy said hopefully. The sheep just bleated and continued eating. Chirpy felt sad and slumped under a tree. " - Maybe I'll never have friends," he whispered. The farm felt big and lonely.

Chirpy's wings drooped, and he was about to give up. " - No one wants to talk to me," he sighed to a passing butterfly. Chirpy felt like leaving the farm forever. Just then, an old wise owl landed beside him. " - Why so glum, little chicken?" the owl hooted. Chirpy blinked, surprised someone finally spoke to him.

The wise owl had a twinkle in her eye. " - Sometimes saying hello isn't enough," she said. Chirpy listened closely as the owl explained how to greet with kindness and patience. " - Try it, and you'll see," the owl encouraged. Chirpy felt hopeful again. " - Thank you, I'll give it a try!" he chirped with renewed energy.

Chirpy tried the owl's advice, greeting everyone warmly and waiting patiently. The other animals began to notice his kindness. " - Hello, Chirpy!" the ducks finally quacked back. " - Hello, little friend," the sheep bleated. Chirpy's heart soared with joy. The farm was no longer lonely, and Chirpy had learned the secret to friendship.
