I

Dull little life

Patricia: Oh life, I'm tired of all this.

Every day the same thing!

Just peck, peck, every day corn, corn, eat

worms.

Your friend Marta Hen realized how thoughtful

she was, soon begun by asking:

Why are you so thoughtful Patricia, lives

wandering and thinking about life?

4

Patricia- Nothing! I'm just thinking about life.

Marta hen-Because of this you have almost no

eggs, everyone are saying your eggs are very

stunted.

(Laughs) co, co, co.

Patricia realized the sarcasm of her friend, but

did not care, just moved away and left her

alone.

Patricia - Who deserve a life like this? My

children are saw, fried egg, cake, and one

day I'm going to the pan.

I think life should be much more than that, I'm

tired!

Patricia looked at the sky and saw a bird flying

with majesty and his eyes sparked a new and

5

strong feeling, feeling of freedom, so she found

out what she wanted in life.

Patricia-Birds are free, explore the sky,

traveling the world! I would love someday to

fly like them...

Well, but I am also a bird, I have wings what

prevents me from flying?

Then Patricia went home very happy and now

with a dream, which made his life now had

more reason and taste.

I have a dream

Woke up early and went to his daily routine as

always, and George chick realized she was

different.

George Chicken -How are you Patricia? You

seems with a peck of a lot animation.

What George chicken said caught the

attention of all Hens and they were thinking.

(Hmm, she must be sleep around with some

chicken ...She Not even put her eggs) thought

some of them.

And Patrician could not contain himself and

just told you what was hidden in his heart.

7

Patricia-I'm very glad George, I feel different

because now I have a big dream, which

make my life today happier.

All were amazed by Patricia words, but no one

dared to ask anything, never took it seriously,

cause thought she was just a problematic

chicken.

Patricia was leaving pecking, scratching and

pulled away from the group, but Lucia Hen

followed full of curiosity.

Lucia Hen: But tell me Patricia I was curious

about your big dream, are you dreaming

about to go to a big farm and get out of here?

Patricia-No Lucia, I'm tired of this thankless life,

life is much more than lay eggs and live

8

scratching, my dream is to fly and travell one

day .

Lucia hen that was very gossipy starting to

laughing and said.

Lucia Hen-You must be going crazy, flying is

for birds, you are just a Hen, you'll never get to

fly.

Then Lucia Hen hurried away to tell the gossip

for everyone, laughing at all this...

And Patricia was about thinking, I know I'm a

chicken, but I'm also a bird, and now I have

this dream, could anyone have a dream that it

9

was not possible to accomplish?

Patricia moved away from there, found a open

in the fence and left the barn, walked a lot

thinking about all these things, coming close

to the road, she had never gone so far, near

the sea.

and was so amazed by her beauty, so she did

what never had done before, greeted her.

pleasure to meet you.

Patricia - You are so beautiful, your colors

amaze me!

Ibis Butterfly - Thank you very much.

Patricia- Must be very good to fly, get landing

on flowers, feeling its scent?

Ibis Butterfly – Yes Patricia, is very good, but it

was not always like so.

11

Patricia – How, I don`t understand? You were

not always a butterfly?

Ibis Butterfly - I'll tell you a secret , but only

because I was very surprised you talk to me ,

sign .

I'm having a very good feeling.

Patricia - You can tell me, I'll know to honor

this moment and will be grateful forever.

Ibis Butterfly – I believe in your faithfulness and

promise, you're different.

Patricia - I accept your compliment, thank you

with all my heart.

Ibis Butterfly - You know, I was not always a

butterfly, before I was a caterpillar, I lived drag

12

on the ground, on trees and leaves.

But one day I went to sleep, and it was as if I

had slept for many years, days, or months, I

even don’t know how to explain it.

Patricia – How great is this mystery!

Ibis Butterfly - When I woke up it was as if I

went out of me , broke up a old bark and I felt

very light and goes flying and living a new life .

to fly, to travel and see the world, I'm so tired

of that no sense life, I've been feeling

unhappy.

Ibis Butterfly- Well, I don`t have prejudice

about your dream, because I was a caterpillar

and I had no wings.

But you're a bird and have the wing, what

prevents you from realizing this dream? If is

what you want, you will never get if you don’t

try.

Patricia - Wow! His words left me beaming with

happiness, and I will always remember this.

14

IV

Flight instructions with Ferdinand pigeon.

The next day all the birds laughed at every

corner, knew what was going on in his head,

and walked away from her.

Patricia then decided not to listen to anyone

and again went to the side of the road

because it was near there she found the Ibis

butterfly and now more than ever needed new

friends.

Then she decided to cross the road and go

next to the sea because she had an idea.

Patricia- I will try to talk to one of those

pigeons next the beach, maybe I can make

friends with some of them and get some flight

instructions.

16

Then she approached a group of pigeons.

And when he had an opportunity, she

launched some corns that was in her craw,

and chatted with a pigeon offering a lunch.

Patricia- Hi Mr pigeon served have a lunch

with me?

17

Ferdinand Pigeon- Yes lady chicken, I Accept

and thank you for your kindness.

Patricia-Feel free, you are my guest, what's

your name?

Ferdinand Pigeon-My name is Ferdinand, but

what do you do around here, are you lost, do

you Need any help?

Patricia –Oh not Mr Ferdinand, I am doing a

search, I think you could help me.

Ferdinand Pigeon -So you can tell me, who

knows I might, because I'm grateful for the

lunch.

Patricia-I need some flight instructions, can

you help me?

18

Pigeon Ferdinand-You're thinking about flying?

Patricia-Yes I am, I need take a trip and just so

I can reach this feat.

Ferdinand Pigeon -Well I do not know any

chicken fly, but I will not discourage you, as

you were too gentle I'll give you some tips,

follow me.

Patricia-Very nice.

Ferdinand pigeon-First thing, you need to stay

as light as possible, you may need to go on a

diet, lose some weight, then have enough

strength in the wings and beat them with

strong.

You need much training, start training in low

places, and will not get hurt.

19

Then, after that start aiming higher places,

dreams are acquired gradually without

charging you very much.

Ferdinand took Patricia over a roof of a house,

and gave her all the necessary guidance,

Patricia was very grateful, was the beginning

of a beautiful friendship.

Patricia-Thank your Mr Ferdinand, his tips were

very important, now I have to go back to the

barn is already late.

Ferdinand pigeon-ok and if you need anything

just let me look, Farewell.

Ferdinand went flying and gave bye, Patricia

was thrilled to look at this scene with grace

and lightness that he did this so and thought,

I'll still get to do this one day.

20

V

Every dream can be true, just believe.

Patricia returned home, and things were no

longer the same, so she walked away for a

few lonely places and keep her training, every

day was improving and already gave some

flybys.

Until one day something happened, she made

a flight loudly jumping from the roof and

glided lightly.

Took advantage of all favorable to her, the

impulse of the wind, the instructions of

Ferdinand, and the strength of her wings, she

knew her body, its limitations.

21

Then flew up high over all, the chickens were

amazed.

Patricia finally managed to fly, yet still had a

lot to discover.

Now all the chickens were no longer looked at

on the ground, they looked up the sky

chanting his name.

-Patricia, Patricia, Patricia!

But now Patricia could not waste time giving

explanations to anyone.

She Had much from now, trips to do and many

places to visit.
