In a small stall, a hen, named Gem, lived by the wall. She felt small and often had a fall. "Why can't I fly at all?" she'd bawl.
One day, Gem saw a ball. With a call, she made a hall through the tall hay. The ball made her feel tall. "If I can roll, I can crawl, and then I might not fall," she said.
Gem tried to crawl but had a fall. She began to bawl and squall. Suddenly, she saw a small quail named Paul.
Paul saw Gem's fall. "Don't bawl, Gem. We all fall," said Paul with a drawl. "But think of the ball. It can't crawl, yet it rolls tall."
Gem felt a new call. With a squall, she let go of her fall. Now, she stands tall, against any and all wall.
