Chapter Twenty-One: Ophelia Returns
Ophelia of the Chocolate Down was back! Fatima rushed out to greet her when the Great-Handed Woman placed her back in the coop.
"Are you okay? What was wrong?" Fatima's orange eyes were wide.
Ophelia cleared her throat. When she spoke, her cluck was so soft Fatima could barely hear her. "Impacted crop," she whispered. "I got lots of yogurt."
"Are you all right now?"
"Yes. I think so." Ophelia pecked at the ground to emphasize her well-being.
"Terrific!" Fatima was relieved that nothing serious had happened to her friend. "Let's go hunt bugs."
"Okay," Ophelia agreed, leading the way out of the coop and into the run. Fatima barreled after her happily.
