The chicken named Angie wanted a couple of things: a bottle and a shoe. These weren't just any ordinary things. The bottle played the music of a lullaby when opened and the shoe enabled any wearer to become fast. So fast that they couldn't get caught. Except for maybe being chased by a cheetah. Angie had had enough of being bullied around and set out to find these two magical items. Day and night she searched high and low amongst the prairie. None of it could be found. Then she came across a merchant with these two magical items. Quickly, she put on the shoe and grabbed the bottle and returned home before the merchant had a chance to know what they were missing. Angie put her bullies to sleep with the lullaby and enjoyed the empty space to roam around. "Now, they need to eat and drink of course. I made sure they got that. But anytime I feel threatened, this bottle will protect me. I'll name it the Sleepy Bottle. And this shoe is amazing. I've ran around in it for ages and it hasn't worn out yet. I'll name it the Invincible Shoe. Now no one can bully me or else they will get a taste of their own medicine. Hope they enjoy sleeping on the ground," Angie said. And the bullies stopped bullying her after learning of her secret weapon, leaving her in peace. They hated sleeping outside.
