Chapter 3 - page 2

She landed just outside the building and the crowd of humans started to laugh and point at Glenda, she was confused, she heard one man say, ‘Ha, see one of your chickens have escaped Mohammed!’ An Asian man appeared outside the shop with the biggest axe Glenda or anybody else for that matter had ever seen. ‘What are you doing chicken. Get back inside this shop!' Glenda looked at the man and thought, ‘You are just as horrible as the farmer’s wife!’ And she flew backwards and tried to peck the man on the nose. Suddenly the axe swung around to swipe Glenda. She dodged the axe and got him right on the end of his evil nose. She didn’t realise she was heading towards the door of the shop.

The smell inside was disgusting. She flew over the counter to the back of the shop. She looked around her, it was smelly hot and full of potatoes cut in funny shapes. As she walked around she could still hear a dreadful commotion outside. Keen to get away, she headed towards a very large white door that had a sign on it saying, KEEP THIS DOOR SHUT AT ALL TIMES. ‘Well it’s not shut so that man does not pay any attention to his own signs.’ Glenda thought, as she walked passed the white door. She could feel a very cold draught coming from inside the room, she could hear whirring noises and see a small light on in the back. She could see lots and lots of boxes piled high on top of each other, 'Maybe there’ll be something to eat inside' she thought. She chose a box on top of one pile near the light, at the back, so she would be able to see inside the boxes. Landing on top, Glenda used her beak to prize open the cardboard lid and as she did, the lid fell and hit the ground.
