Once upon a time in a small town, there lived a chicken named Clucky who dreamed of flying. Every day, she would flap her wings and jump off the barn, only to land with a thud in the haystack.One day, Clucky decided to take it up a notch. She climbed to the roof of the barn and, with all her might, leaped into the air. As she soared (for about two seconds), she shouted, “I’m flying!” But then gravity kicked in, and she plummeted straight into a pile of freshly raked leaves.Covered in leaves and feeling a bit bruised, Clucky stood up and declared, “Well, that was a soft landing! Next time, I’ll aim for the trampoline!” From that day on, Clucky became the first chicken to host a trampoline party--turns out, she wasn’t great at flying, but she was fantastic at bouncing! The other animals joined in, and every Saturday became “Clucky’s Bounce Day,” where everyone would jump around and forget about their worries. And so, Clucky never did fly, but she certainly knew how to have a good time!
