Chirping
"How romantic!" Sparrow trilled after him, but there was a sort of anger in her voice.
Charley shrugged off her sharp words and walked home . His little sisters came running to meet him . Their little green eyes looked hopefully up at him as they wrapped their wings around his waist . "Sorry girls no food today" he said regretfully . Their gazes fell and Charley felt his heart go out to them . "But I do have a story to tell" he clucked, knowing that they loved a good story . About thirty minutes later he finished and his sister's eyes were glowing with wonder . "Is Oak pretty?" Daffodil asked shyly . Charley flushed beneath his feathers . "Yes" he said carfully . Tulip climbed onto his knee . "Will we really go to the Clucking Empire?" she asked . Charley gently ruffled her feathers "Yes little sister, if mother agrees" . "If mother agrees to what?" a tired voice asked . Charley whisked Tulip onto the ground and hugged his mother . "Will you go to the Clucking Empire mother?" he asked . "We could start a new life " Charley said hopefully . "With this" , he held up the Duke's daughter's money . "She gave it to me because she always wanted to help the poor but her father never let her" . Charley's mother started crying with happiness. "Yes Charley, we will go! straight in the morning!" and they all went to bed peacfully that night dreaming of a new life .
