Film By the Pasture 2023 - 01. Cecil Hills Public School - Chicken Chase Chaos

AMINA: Hey, guys. Check out those chickens over there.

ELENA: Oh, they look adorable.

LANYA: Yeah, but I heard they can be a bit mischievous.

AMINA: Mischievous chickens? You've got to be kidding.

ELENA: Yeah, but I heard stories of them chasing students around.

[chatter]

LANYA: The school chickens approach. As the students watch the chickens from a distance, the curious cluckers suddenly notice the group.

AMINA: Uh-oh. I think they've spotted us.

ELENA: Maybe they just want to join our lunch club.

LANYA: I hope they're friendly. The chicken chase begins, but 'friendly' was the last thing on the chickens' minds.

ELENA: Buk-buk. Buk-buk.

AMINA: OK, OK, everyone. Let's just slowly back away.

ELENA: Good idea. Nobody make any sudden moves.

[chatter]

[chickens clucking]

LANYA: But the chickens were not backing down. Instead, they'd pick up speed, chasing the students around the schoolyard.

ELENA: Argh!

[laughter]

Run! Run! The chickens are here!

Go!

[laughter]

[chatter]

I never knew the chickens could be so determined. [sighs]

LANYA: The students hide out.

AMINA: OK, OK, I think I lost them.

ELENA: Who would have thought chickens could be so feisty? Miss Bassett arrives.

MISS BASSETT: What's going on here, students?

LANYA: Ah, the chickens, Miss Bassett. They started chasing us.

MISS BASSETT: Ah, yes. The school chickens can be a bit playful sometimes. They won't hurt you.

AMINA: I think they just wanted to have some fun with us.

ELENA: Look, they stopped.

LANYA: Maybe you just need to make friends with them.

ELENA: The students and the chickens bond.

LANYA: So the students approach the chickens and offered them some crumbs from their lunch.

[chickens clucking]

CAMERA OP: Go in to him.

LANYA: Let me in.

CAMERA OP: You're leading them out, Lanya.

[chickens clucking]

ELENA: Here you go. OK.

[chickens clucking]

I guess they weren't that bad after all.

AMINA: I think we just needed to show him some kindness.

LANYA: From the day on, the students and the school chickens became unexpected friends. They often shared lunchtime adventures, running around and playing together.

ELENA: We shall call ourselves the Chicken Chasers Club. The students and chickens continued their fun.

LANYA: And so, with newfound chicken companions, the students continued to have the most exciting lunch breaks filled with laughter, adventure and delightful feathered friends.
