When wise old Father Gregory is given a chicken for his supper, he dreams of how good it would taste. But fortunately for the worried chicken, just as he is about to make a stew, Father Gregory thinks of someone else who needs the chicken more than he does. So he takes the chicken on a journey and gives it to his needy friend. And so the story continues...This story of giving and receiving is told with much gentle humour and will speak to readers of all ages. Mike Spoor's lively illustrations bring the story vividly to life.
