There were 4 friends that lived in the same home. These were Lady Sheep, Lass Goat, Mukyala Cow and last but not least Madam Hen. All of them were troubled by one thing; their inability to have offsprings. So they decided to pray to God and one by one God answered their prayers.
First to recieve a miracle was Lass Goat when she delivered 2 black bouncing kids looking just like her. Then Mukyala Cow delivered a healthy calf, again looking just like her. A couple of days later Lady Sheep felt something unusual in her belly, hours later it turned into 2 young lambs looking just like her.
Now only Madam Hen was left and she wondered what would happen to her when her turn came. That afternoon she begun to sing in a funny tone: Keee Keee… She wondered what was wrong with her usual sweet soprano. The next day she felt something comming. She called all her friends to be around for her big day. And the hour came, she prepared where she was going to place the baby. And off she pushed and something like a white stone got out!
Madam Hen got scared, this did not anyway look like her. By now here friends: Lass Goat, Mukyala Cow and Lady Sheep were dying of laughter. WHY HAD MADAM HEN PRODUCED A STONE? When they come back to their senses, they advise Madam Hen to try again. Trouble was that the next day still resulted in another stone! And they laughed again! This time hysterically! Madam Hen tried 10 more times and on all days resulted into 12 white stones!
Feeling exhausted she turned to God “what is wrong with me; why don’t I produce something that looks like me just like everyone else?” In the end she gave up pushing and feeling dejected, she decided to sit on her “stones” This only looked even more hilarious to her friends. Why was hen sitting on “stones” instead of trying to produce a real baby?
Days came, Days went; Madam Hen refused to accept no for an answer. Deep in her heart she knew God cared! However, there were News on the 21st day of sitting on stones. It started like a normal day but it turned into a day to remember! One stone cracked and eventually revealed a beautiful chick! Madam Hen was so happy. She run to call her friends and by the time her friends arrived three more “stones” had cracked revealing 3 beautiful Chicks!. Her friends looked bamboozled; how come the white stones had resulted into something that looked like Madam Hen? One by one they left quitely. By the end of the day, the 12 stones were now 12 chicks all resembling Madam Hen and she was the happiest of all. Afterall she had the highest number of babies.
Make friends ye all but remember to sit on your eggs untill they hatch!
