Those Crazy Chickens! Book One: Monday Chapter 7

Just Another Load Of Nonsense

If you like talking and listening to nonsense, you'll like this chapter of Those Crazy Chickens! a lot.



*The three chickens are sitting at home. Rowena is glued to the new TV. Protea is writing poetry in her diary with her new gold pen. Strelitzia is trying on a very floaty, shocking pink outfit. Strelitzia has been invited to a party. It's very natural for Strelitzia to make a big fuss about dressing...*

Strelitzia: "I'm sooo worried, Pro dear! I don't know if I should wear this dress to the party... D'you think I'd look better in my orange jumpsuit? The one with the utility belt?"

Protea: "Huh? Oh no, Strelly, dear, you look lovely in that outfit! It's such a merry shade of pink. Pink suits you, you know!"

Rowena: (smirking) "Yeah, that pink does. It's too bright for it's own good!"

Protea: "Seal your beak, Rowena!"

Strelitzia: (not hearing) "But, I don't know what type of party this is going to be! I might look ridiculous in a ball dress, and ev'ryone else is in jeans and jumpers!"

Rowena: (mildly) "Well, Strella, you look ridiculous without trying-- OW!"

*Protea pecks Rowena hard*

Protea: "Wear the slinky black dress, then... Then it won't look too out-of-place if it is a casual party. You'll just look... Like a rich rooster's daughter. Ok, Strelitzia?"

Strelitzia: (clicking her beak anxiously) "Well, ok then! I think I'll be fine. Lin and her dad will be here with to pick me up soon. I hope they serve shoe-polish flavored jelly at the party. It's my fave!"

Protea: (happily) "I'm so glad someone likes my cooking! Rowena, it was very expensive shoe-polish, you know..."

Rowena: (sticks out her tongue) "Yuck."

*they hear a Lin and her dad arriving outside the coop*

Lin: "Strel? Streliiiiiiiiitzia!"

Strelitzia: "Oh oh, gotta go-- bye Pro, by Ro-Ro!"

Rowena: (frowning) "Ro-Ro? What happened to Cherryflutters?!"
