NAME:

trip to the interior

Rosinha lived in the city and had only been to Vó Maria's farm when she was very young. On vacation, her family went to visit her grandmother in the country.
– I'm glad you came, exclaims the super happy grandmother, I'll finally be able to show you my prized bird breeding.
The girl, who did not live with that type of being, was amazed, delighted and… thoughtful (but what weird chickens!). Suddenly, strolling around the site, she saw a majestic peacock opening its colored tail. She came "flying" home and, all happy, warned:

– Grandma, Grandma, one of your chickens is “giving flower”!!!
