The cute little chick
*
Once I had some cute little chicks,
Which were very cute;
Some of them were light yellow and some black,
But one was my dear one,
Which was white and black-black dot.
So, as she was my dear one, she got the name Kaya.
The chick whom I was very fond of,
Grew bigger and bigger,
As much she grews, that much she ate
But still was my dear one.
One day she got fracture and was injured in her neck.
So, as she was my dear one, she got the name 'Langji Kaya'.
The chick who was very fat, one day became a hen,
And laid eggs,
And one day some robbers came and stole
my dear one along with her eggs.
But still she is my dear one,
So, as she is my dear one, I got cute memories with my dear one.
