This is very true - even discarded ideas can build the basis for great things in life!
Interrupting Chicken

Reading to a kid who won't stop moving, talking, or getting distracted - I feel most parents would have encountered this hardship at some point in time. Some of us would have gone through this much more than others!

This story is about a dad rooster and a child chicken. The dad is trying to read a book to the child chicken and put her to sleep because it is bedtime. He also reminds the little one that this is not the time to interrupt. However, the little chicken is quite uncontrollable and ignores dad's repeated requests.
When the dad rooster is almost done reading the story "Hansel & Gretel", the little chicken interrupts and says," "Don't go in! She's a witch!" So Hansel and Gretel didn't go in. "The end!" ". The dad becomes so frustrated and he understands that the little chicken has not yet reached the mood to sleep!
Similar is the case with "Little Red Riding Hood" - the little interrupts and warns Little Red Riding Hood about the impending danger. This ends the story abruptly! This goes on and finally, the dad rooster asks the little chicken to tell a story, during which the dad falls asleep. Soon after, the little chicken too sleeps!
The lesson behind this story is that we should wait for our turn to talk and not interrupt when someone is talking. It also encourages kids to be good listeners and to listen without distractions. With all that being said, I would also suggest all the parents out there to enjoy the little innocence and excitement of the kids during these moments.
> Encourages kids to be better listeners and understand the appropriate time when they should interfere.
> Mentions of famous fairy tales make this story more interesting for little kids.
> Beautiful illustrations that go very well with the story.
> Perfect for toddlers (read-aloud), little kids, and lower-level elementary kids.
