Chiku’s Stormy Night Refuge

Chiku and the Heart of the Forest After a long, heavy rain, the streets were

flooded. On a window ledge, a small, fluffy pigeon named Chiku shivered in

the cold. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, but Chiku stayed brave.

Finally, the rain stopped, though the streets were still full of water.

Chiku flew from window to window and landed safely on one edge. It shook its feathers,

splashing water everywhere. The people inside were sleeping, so Chiku rested

quietly. Monvitha peeked out and saw Chiku. The little pigeon looked tired and

had red eyes, but she smiled gently.
