An ancient, beautiful river flowed calmly along the edge of a wild forest. A mother hen and her little chicks lived right by this riverbank. One day, while she was standing near the water with her chicks, she suddenly noticed the river water rippling and churning.
Looking closely, she saw a large, cruel crocodile approaching! As the crocodile slowly started climbing out of the water onto the riverbank, the mother hen realized his intention—his target was her chicks.
"That wicked crocodile is coming. No matter what, I have gathered my little ones under my wings and made them safe," the mother hen thought to herself. Without wasting a single moment, she tucked all her chicks securely beneath her wings.
The crocodile crept closer and closer, right up to the mother hen. Usually, when animals and birds see him, they run away in terror. But here, seeing a tiny hen standing her ground without moving back even an inch, staring straight at him with fierce anger and courage, the crocodile was utterly astonished.
In front of the incredible courage of this mother hen—who was willing to risk her own life to protect her babies—the crocodile's cruelty was defeated. Realizing that attacking this hen wouldn't be easy, the crocodile slowly turned around and retreated back into the river.
Thus, with a mother's love and extraordinary courage, the mother hen saved her chicks from a massive danger!
Moral: When terrifying challenges come our way, if we face them with courage instead of running away, we can defeat even the biggest of enemies.
