A hen brooded two eggs. The colour of eggs were white and blue. After twenty-one days the eggs hatched. The white became a chick and the blue became a duckling. Why did the hen also have a duckling? Because a duck laid her egg to the hen's nest. The hen loved both of her childs. She did not choose to love her childs. But everyday her childs always fighting. They competed and made fun of each other. The chick was proud that he able to run fast and can perch on the fence. The duckling was proud that he able to swim and dive in the water.
Their mother always advised them not to fight. "If you are fight everyday, you'll get in trouble."
"The claw-wide always begin to fight!" groused the chick.
"I am never begin to fight, but the sharp beak!" said the duckling. After the debate they had a hard fight until rolled on the ground. When the duckling felt be lose, he ran into a river. From the river he shouted, "Hey, you can not follow me!"
"Watch out! When you are on the land! I'll chase you wherever you go!" The chick gave a warning.
Their mother tired to advise them.
Show romanizationOne morning, when they wake up, they did not find their mother. They did not a care. Instead, they felt free because can fight as much without being banned. But they became panick when they felt hungry. Then they were looking for food. All the time they only asked foods to their mother, not looking for by themselves. The duckling found a chunk of dry wood, there were a lot of termites under the wood. "It is a nice food," said the duckling to himself. "I can not move the wood because my legs is wide. I am not good at scratching like a chicken." Shyly, the duckling told to the chick, "There are a lot of termites under dry wood."
Initially the chick felt proud to accept the offer, but he was hungry. So the chick came to the wood and scratched it by his paws. When the wood was inverted they eat termites. "Thanks to you," said the chick. But they were still hungry. They looked for food again. They arrived at a lake. The duckling went into water, catched fish, and shared the fish with the chick.
"It is comfort to eat together," said the duckling.
When they looked for food there was a civet. The civet wanted to eat them. Fortunately, the chick's ear was very sensitive. He knew the presence of the civet. "There is a civet! Let's run!" said the chick. The civet ran after them. The duckling jumped to the lake and survived. The chick confused, "Help me! Help me!"
"Jump to a float wood!" said the duckling. The chick jumped to the foat wood. Then the duckling pushed the wood to move away so the civet could not catch them. "Luckily, civet is not a good swimmer."
"My brother, thank you for saving me," said the chick.
The duckling said, "Our mother is true. Hang together is more comfortable. But all the time we never cared to our mother's words." The chick nodded. They promised not to fight again. "Now, let's find our mother." They looked for their mother by wing to wing.
The hen surprised when saw her childs. She asked why they stopped to fight. The chick and the duckling smiled sheepishly. "It is better to live by helping each other. By hang together we did not suffer by hunger," said the duckling.
The chick added, "We also survived when a civet ran after us." The hen smiled and hugged them lovely. (*)
