She longed for adventure. So she left her home and ventured out into the wide world.
The pleasures and perils she met proved plentiful: marauding pirates on the majestic seas, a ferocious lion under the bright lights of the big top, a mysterious stranger in an exotic and bustling bazaar.
Yet in the face of such daunting danger, our heroine…
She was brave. She was fearless. She was feathered. She was a chicken. A not-so-chicken chicken. Her name?
Louise.
