The Chicken Coolahans

The Chicken Coolahans were a peaceful family. One day Daddy Chicken came home panting, his face white as snow. “A fox!” he panted. “We’re …. All …. Goners!” Baby Chicken started crying. It was completely out of tune. “Now, now!” Mommy Chicken said. “I’m sure that Daddy was just joking!” She looked at Daddy Chicken suspiciously as he started boarding up the door. “What are you playing at!” she mouthed at Daddy Chicken. Daddy Chicken did not notice. Just then they heard a knock on the door. “Who is it?” Mommy Chicken shouted. Daddy Chicken shot Mommy Chicken a look of annoyance.
