Clucky takes her chicks to the barnyard school on a tricycle ride. There they learn, play, make friends, and above all, have fun. However, the three chicks witness the rejection suffered by a classmate at school, and even they themselves are the target of mockery and misunderstanding. Sad and worried, the three brothers talk to her mother Clucky, who is always there with her magic kettle to minimize all those bad feelings, and even to recycle them!
This third tale of Clucky the Hen deals with the theme of bullying. Our heroine, as scatter-brained as ever, but with all of her energy and resourcefulness, solves the problem with the help of a magic kettle that symbolizes the best possible attitude in these cases: a willingness to discuss the situation. This attitude should serve as a model for our children, promoting respect, living in harmony, and accepting other people’s differences.
