It was a usual night, I was tucking in the chickens like i always do. I was about to close their door when something not so normal happened… I wasn’t sure if I was just hearing things, When I heard what i thought was two chickens talking to me! I opened the door back up to see if someone was in there with them. Then I heard it again!
“There is gold at the tracks I can see it from a tree branch, and I can smell it when the wind blows” “you have to go to the tracks and find the gold”
I couldn’t believe what I heard so I closed the door and ran for the house to tell Isaac.
“Isaac!” “the chickens were just talking to me” “they told me there’s gold at the railroad tracks!”
Isaac said “maybe you’re tired, I doubt you heard that! Go to bed.”
So I headed to bed. I couldn’t sleep at all. I just laid there thinking about what the chickens said to me. I knew what I heard!
When morning came I asked Isaac if we could just take a walk down the tracks and look around. He didn’t want to. But came anyways. We walked and walked w out seeing much of anything there was some trash but nothing that looked like gold anywhere.
Until we saw further away an old railroad car. Which is very strange since this railroad hasn’t been working for years. We wanted to see it close up, so we kept walking towards it. You could tell it had been there a while, it was rusted and had graffiti all over it. On the side of the car was a ladder. Isaac wanted to climb it and sit on the top of the car, I wanted to keep walking to find the gold! But since he came with me and didn’t want to, I waited for him to try out the ladder.
Who knows, he may be able to see the gold from up there. He climbs the ladder and tells me
“There is a lever here that looks like it opens the top somehow”
I told him to try it out. He pulled the lever and I saw him fly through the air still hanging on! He didn’t know the roof would roll back automatically and so fast when it unlocked! He landed in a pile of dried mealworms! I saw them fly into the air and some landed on me. I climbed up the ladder to help him get back out. We couldn’t believe how many mealworms there were!
We sat on the tracks a while thinking of what we should do with all these. When it came to me….. The chicken wasn’t talking about gold that would make me rich! He was talking about chicken gold!!! Mealworms he could smell when the wind was just right!
Isaac and I were a little disappointed but couldn’t wait to show the chickens that we found their treasure!
