The Repayment of the Chicken - amended

Once upon a time there was a chicken living near a farm. There were five children living in the farm too. The children were called Sam, Tom, Alex, Jenny and Ben. Alex was poor and needed to work everyday. He couldn’t go to school. The other children were having a lot of money and always hit Alex.

One day, when Alex went back home, he saw
the other children wanting to kill the chicken. Alex shouted, “You can’t kill it, it is a life!” Then, the other children hit Alex and he got hurt. He was very happy, because the chicken did not need to die.

When he went back home, he saw
that there were eight more hours on his watch. He didn’t know what happened, and slept. He usually slept for eight hours every night. When he got up, his watch said 4:00 a.m. He was very amazed. And he got up and read an English book. He was very interested in architecture. He went to work after two hours, and saw through the window that the other children had hurt themselves. When their parents arrived, the children cried, “Alex hit us!”

Alex was very angry. His father hit him, he cried and ran away. When Alex ran near the river, he saw the chicken there. It looked very hungry, and he gave it some bread. Although the bread was not very delicious, the chicken enjoyed it. The bread tasted like expensive cake to Alex too. When he went to work, the chicken shouted, “You have eight more hours because of my magic. You can read your book!”

Alex was very amazed
. The chicken was actually a fairy! He could go to school now because he had more time. When he went to school, he saw Ben. Ben shouted cunningly, “Alex is poor! He can’t go to our school, and he doesn’t have any knowledge!” The teacher gave Alex an admission test. When Alex had finished, the other children were very shocked, because he had gotten full marks.

Alex could go to school everyday.
His classmates asked him everything. Alex was very happy and brought the chicken to school. When he grew up, he became a famous man and he brought the chicken with him everyday. They lived happily everyday and Alex became an architect.
