Chico and the Crane retold by Erin Younglove
Once upon a time, a well-known gentleman named Mr. Corrado and a cook named Chico became friends. How the gentleman and the cook became friends was over a one legged lovely crane. Why it was over a lovely crane was because Mr. Corrado was very upset when he saw the lovey roasted crane only had one limb when presented with his meal. So, the gentleman and the cook planned to go to the lake the next day and when they saw the lovely cranes on one limb asleep. As Mr. Corrado howled the lovely cranes woke up, unfolded their legs, and flew away. Mr. Chico stated “If you had clapped and shouted at the table yesterday then your bird would have uncurled its other leg.”
