    Once upon a time, in a bustling farm, lived a lively yellow chick named Sunny. He was always bustling with energy, hopping from one place to another, chirping cheerfully. Sunny was known for his vibrant yellow feathers and energetic personality. However, he had a little problem: Sunny didn't like to listen to his mama.

    "Sunny, don't stray too far when we visit the market," his mother would often admonish. Yet, Sunny, embodying the true spirit of a daring chick, wouldn't heed her advice, choosing to veer off on whimsical little expeditions of his own.

    One cloudy day, they went to the market located on a busy and crowded street. As usual, Sunny didn't listen to his mama and wandered off, distracted by the colorful stalls and enticing smells.

    At first, Sunny was thrilled with his adventure. He hopped from stall to stall, chirping in delight. But when he turned around, he realized his mama was nowhere in sight. He was lost.

    Sunny felt a pang of fear in his little heart. He had never been alone in such a big, bustling place. He started to search for his mama, chirping her name loudly.

    He asked the farm animals he met on the way, but everyone was too busy with their own work. The sun was setting, and Sunny was getting more and more worried.

    Just when he was about to lose hope, he met an old wise owl named Oscar. Oscar was known for his vast knowledge and wisdom. He listened to Sunny's problem and agreed to help him.

    Oscar advised Sunny to retrace his steps and remember the unique smells and sights he had encountered. He reminded Sunny that his mama was probably looking for him too.

    Sunny, inspired by Oscar's wisdom, started to retrace his steps. He remembered the smell of the fresh bread from the baker's stall and the sight of the colorful fruits at the grocer's.

    With newfound hope, Sunny continued his search. The streets were dark now, but Sunny didn't let fear overcome him. He knew he had to find his mama.

    After a long search, Sunny finally heard a familiar chirp. His heart pounded with joy. He followed the sound and found his mama looking for him.

    Mama Chick was relieved to see Sunny safe and sound. She hugged him tightly and thanked him for being brave. But she also reminded him of the importance of listening to her.

    Sunny apologized for not listening to her and promised he would obey her instructions in the future. He had learned his lesson the hard way, and he didn't want to get lost again.

    That night, as they walked back home under the starlit sky, Sunny felt a sense of relief and peace. He knew he was safe as long as he was with his mama.

    From that day on, Sunny always stayed close to his mama whenever they went to the market. He had learned the importance of obedience and the dangers that disobedience could bring.

    As time passed, Sunny grew up to be a responsible and brave chick, respected by all the farm animals. He often shared his story with the younger chicks, teaching them the importance of listening to their parents.
