There was once a little chick named Juanita, she lived on a very large farm, surrounded by animals and many chicks. She was very cheerful, dynamic and sincere. The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that she was very small. Although she used to be very happy, sometimes sadness invaded her, she thought she was very small, she believed that because of her height she could never help anyone. Although I tried to forget about that.
She went out to play early on the farm with her friends, the chicks that were bigger than her and she felt a little sad because she could not jump as high as her friends.
I was very impatient to grow up and be very bold like the other chicks. She wanted to be bigger, so that mother hen let her go for a walk and bathe in the lagoon with the other chicks and she could not, because her mother was afraid that she would leave, she thought that she was not able to defend herself if she was not by her side .
In those moments Juanita felt sad, she said that she could never become like her friends who were bigger, she thought she could make a tiny chick in the world that because she was so small she could not climb the trees like the others.
She always saw her friends who were bigger than her, they climbed the trees without difficulty and that saddened her.
Then he stayed silent for a while, in the distance he heard a Kikirikeo but he could not see anyone, after a long time he felt an old and one-eyed cock approaching, he approached her to see if he could make her smile and take away the sadness that I had, and I invite you to take a walk around the farm.
The rooster asks him why are you sad beautiful little chick? she replies distressedly that I am a very small chick and my friends are almost chickens.
With tears in his eyes said a hundred that I will never grow. The old, one-eyed rooster tells him; the fact that you are little does not mean you are not important, here on the farm you are worth a lot.
For mother hen you are the greatest thing in the world and if you are sad she will be sad too. You are going to grow little by little, do not hurry, a few weeks ago mama hen was brooding you, then you came out of the egg, you started walking a little slow and go now you can play here on the farm.
Soon you will grow as mother hen, you can climb the trees, you will be big and strong like her, you will marry a beautiful rooster like me hahaha, you will hatch and you will have your eggs and you will see your chicks grow.
The little chick Juanita was happy with the words of the old one-eyed cock. Her eyes shone and she said to the rooster, I will not be sad, I will soon grow up and be able to be like my friends, let me go out alone with them to bathe in the lagoon, I can climb the trees and run around the farm.
He thanked the old rooster for such beautiful words that made her think and understand.
You have to live every stage of life without rushing.
