    Once upon a time, in a quiet farm located in the peaceful countryside, a cute little chick named Lele was born. She popped out of her eggshell with tiny, fluffy feathers and eyes sparkling with curiosity.

    Lele was smaller than her siblings but what she lacked in size, she made up for in energy and spirit. She was fast and loved to explore every nook and cranny of the farm.

    Every day, Lele would watch the sun rise, and get excited about the new day. She would run around the farm, chase after butterflies and play with the other farm animals.

    But being the smallest, Lele often found herself falling behind. It wasn't easy keeping up with the others. Despite her determination and energy, she needed frequent breaks to rest her tiny legs.

    She wanted to be just as big and strong as her siblings. She dreamed of the day when she wouldn't have to struggle to keep up, when she wouldn't be the last one to get to the food.

    One sunny day, Lele saw the biggest chicken on the farm, a hen named Henna. Henna was well-respected and known for her wisdom. Lele approached her, seeking advice on how to grow.

    "Patience, Lele," said Henna, after listening to the young chick's worries. "Growing takes time, but it will happen as it should. Just eat well, play a lot, and sleep enough."

    Lele took the advice to heart. She began eating more, playing more, and resting well. Each day, she could feel herself getting stronger, and she was happy with the progress she was making.

    After a while, Lele began to see positive changes. She found herself running just as fast as her siblings, and sometimes even outrunning them. She was growing stronger and healthier.

    Despite her improvements, Lele was still often picked on because of her size. But she remained undeterred. She knew each day was a step closer to her dreams of becoming a big and strong chicken.

    One day, the farmer brought a new friend to the farm. It was a shy young duckling named Ducky. He was new to the farm and felt out of place among the other animals.

    Lele, remembering her own struggles, decided to welcome Ducky. She assured him that he would eventually fit in and guided him around the farm, introducing him to the other animals.

    Being friends with Ducky was fun. Lele learned a lot from her new friend. She learned about how ducks lived and was introduced to new foods that Ducky liked.

    Over time, Lele noticed that Ducky was growing faster than she was, and she felt a little sad. However, she remembered Henna's advice and decided not to compare herself with others.

    Days turned into weeks, weeks into months. Lele continued to grow, both in size and strength. She was no longer the smallest chick on the farm, and she was proud of her growth.

    The day finally came when Lele looked at her reflection in the pond and saw a fully-grown hen staring back at her. She was big, strong, and beautiful just like she had always dreamed.

    The other farm animals also took notice of Lele's growth. She was not just physically bigger; she had also become wiser and kinder. She was respected by everyone in the farm.

    Lele enjoyed her new status but never forgot about her journey. She remembered the struggles she faced as a chick and knew that it was those experiences that shaped her into the hen she had become.

    One day, a new batch of chicks hatched on the farm. There was a tiny chick among them, just like Lele once was. The chick looked up at Lele with curious eyes, much like how she did with Henna.

    Seeing her younger self in the chick, Lele decided to pass on the wisdom she had acquired. She told the little chick about her journey and gave her the advice Henna once gave her.

    Lele felt proud as she watched the little chick listen attentively, reminding her of her own journey. She realized that growth was not simply about becoming taller or stronger, but also about gaining wisdom.

    Lele's story is a gentle reminder for all of us that growth takes time and patience. Everyone grows at their own pace, and each step along the way is important in shaping who we become.

    Lele had fulfilled her dream of becoming a big, strong hen. But her journey did not stop there. She continued to grow in new ways, such as by becoming a mentor for the younger animals on the farm.

    Through Lele's journey, we learn that growth is a never-ending process. We keep growing physically, mentally, and emotionally, contributing to our understanding of the world and ourselves.

    As the sun set on the farm, Lele looked out over the fields, content with how far she had come. She knew that there was still plenty more to grow and learn, but for now, she was happy just being herself.
