CHAPTER 11- In Trouble AGAIN!!!
The next day was pretty much a normal day. The biggest little rooster started crowing early to get the human out of bed to let him out. The human just shut the window and ignored him. He tried crowing louder. It didn't work. With great persistence, though, he got the humanlady to come out a little earlier than normal.
It was a little chilly the night before, so the grass was very chilly and damp. This just motivated the biggest little rooster to run faster toward his Ladies.
The day was spent wandering around all the neighbors yards, at least all the ones on the left. All the chickens were smartly avoiding the right hand neighbors yard for fear of the big brown monster.
When night fell, the Ladies walked the biggest little rooster home. He watched from the shed door to make sure the Ladies got home safe.
The next morning was Saturday. The humanlady was not feeling well, so she wasn't outside supervising. The biggest little rooster decided to sneak the ladies away on a picnic.
Unfortunately for him, the humanlady decided to step outside to do something. She still wouldn't have noticed if his little flock didn't pick that very moment to jump on the fence from inside the back neighbors yard. She walked back to open the gate to let the medium little rooster back into his yard.
The medium little rooster didn't think it was fair that he couldnt play in the neighbors yard, so he crowed loudly. Before he could even think about what he was doing, the biggest little rooster crowed in response. They crowed back and forth a few times, and then the biggest little rooster saw her- the humanlady.
He had kind of outsmarted her though. She thought they were in the fenced neighbors yard. He actually enjoyed the look on her face as she noticed they were actually around the fence, in a far yard they had never been in before.
The Ladies were totally enjoying their picnic. They couldn't believe how the biggest little rooster managed to find such a perfect picnic spot. The sun was shining down warm, but the picnic spot was under a tree. The biggest little rooster had sprinkled a few flowers around for them to scratch in. As a bonus, the flowers were quite tasty. The biggest little rooster used his thick strong feet to overturn a boulder, and there was a cricket for each of them under it.
As they were chasing their crickets, the humanlady was there calling them. Aw, darn it, they didn't want to go. They went, though, and protested all the way.
When they got into the older neighbors yard, they saw the older neighbor, and hoped that since she was outside, maybe the humanlady would go easy on them. The ladies jumped up onto the little fence railing trying to look cute.
The biggest little rooster looked up at his Ladies. He wanted to jump up to be with them. He squatted down in jump-ready position. It sure looked high. He stood up. He squatted down in jump-ready position again, and wiggled his butt to get his spring going. It sure looked high. Could he really make it that far without embarrassing himself? He stood back up. If the ladies could get up there, so could he. He squatted down in jump-ready position, wiggled his butt, counted to three, and JUMPED. His big feet got all tripped up on the ledge, but he landed. Not gracefully, but hey, he wasn't a ballerina.
Then, they got the lecture. Not only did the humanlady scold him for adventuring so far away, but the older neighborlady joined in also. He just did what he always did when all four ladies were talking at once- he stared just past them, and thought about big ole fat and juicy worms.
When she was done lecturing, the humanlady walked toward the house. The biggest little rooster called his Ladies, and led them under the neighbors deck, where no humans could reach them. He was expecting a lockdown again, and figured he and his ladies would wait it out under the deck.
To his surprise, the humanlady continued walking. She didn't call them, or even look back. Wow, they got off easy.
It was starting to get a little dark out, so the biggest little rooster came out from his hiding spot, and called the ladies for their snack before bed. It had been another great day.
