MY STORYIt was a beautiful summer’s day and the blossom on the trees smelled divine. Bees were gently buzzing around the giant sunflower heads. An olive glistened like a cherry in the sunlight. Looking across from the rooftop I saw the helicopter in the horizon. It was the postman coming to deliver my post!

CHICKEN

IDIOMS
