And working as a team they soon had the chicken coop cleaned up and looking sparkling clean.

Mrs Hen returned and was delighted at the results. The little chicks had even placed flowers around the coop so that the air smelled fresh.

And by the end of the song the Cheeky Chicks were fast asleep.

Roddy carefully lifted himself back onto his coop, and to the chicks he whispered, "Wake you in the mornin'!", and then prompty fell into a deep sleep.

It was dawn when the farmyard woke up to the sound of Billy The Easter Bunyip.

"Come out, everyone, come out and see!!" yelled Billy.

Roddy The Rooster, Mrs Hen and all the farmyard animals scrambled outside to see Billy The Easter Bunyip. At Billy's feet were six little fluffy chicks.

Then Reggie The Dog saw Mat The Cat
Get ready to leap from the wall
Look out, Mary! But Mary's watching Paul
And Paul, well he wasn't aware at all,
he was thinking:-
Oh! What a wonderful life!
he was thinking:-
Oh! What a wonderful life!

And all was quiet until....

"COCKADOODLE-DOO"

"COCKADOODLE-DOO" ....again!

It was Roddy The Rooster....

AND.... it was Christmas morning!

"B'WARK!" came his cry, "Happy Christmas Everybody!!"

The little Cheeky Chicks looked up to Roddy The Rooster and one of them asked, "What's a monkey?"

As Roddy explained, monkeys lived in jungles around the world. There are all sorts of monkeys:- baboons, apes, gorillas and chimpanzees. They love swinging through trees and eating bananas.

Mr Horse was next to appear, marching proudly in full armour, like the horse of a brave knight from medieval times.

Cassie The Carpetsnake came into view pulling a small wagon bearing a hand written sign:- "The Hooded Escapologist." A mysterious figure stood on the wagon covered in a white sheet and wrapped in chains and padlocks. No one could recognise Joe The Jolly Jumbuck under that white sheet and wrapped in all those chains and padlocks!

"Well," continued Penny, as Pixie sneezed again, "Pixie got out of the creek and we ran all the way back to the farm and when we got back to the farm we were so exhausted that we fell asleep straight away - Pixie in her wet swimming costume on her wet towel."

Pixie Piglet sneezed again, "AH-CHOO! I-I-I sh-sh-should have dried myself and h-h-hung up my t-t-towel. Now I-I-I've got a c-c-cold!"

Roddy read the piece of paper out aloud to himself, "Announcing the first tour of UNCLE TIM'S BUSH BAND. Featuring Uncle Tim on harmonica, Kira Kookaburra on guitar, Kenny Kangaroo on bass and Mr Wombat on drums." Roddy was excited, "Wow! I never knew Old Mr Wombat had it in him!"

Roddy The Rooster excitedly scrambled from the roof to spread the news around. And soon the farmyard was abuzz because everyone loves a bush band!

Suddenly it burst opened and revealed a tiny flower child - no bigger than themselves and much relieved to be free.

"Phew!" said the small girl stretching her arms, "That's a relief. It was so cramped in there!"

The Cheeky Chicks stood watching in amazement. Never had they seen a tiny little child in a flower.

"Have a nice day, Mrs Cow!" said Old Mr Wombat as he headed toward the farmyard. "Thanks for the invitation," said Mrs Cow who returned to eating her breakfast.

When Old Mr Wombat entered the barnyard he first saw Desmond Duck and promptly handed him an invitation. "It's on Thursday at noon," said Old Mr Wombat cheerfully.

As Mr Horse sang his new song his pumpkin head dress fell onto the floor, such was the exhuberance of Mr Horse's performance. But it did not matter. The song was great, and once he finished the barn erupted in applause and calls for more, more, more!!

The barnyard at Tumbledown Creek Farm was abuzz with activity and the sun was high in the sky when Mr Horse woke up late again. That was normal.

"Hmm, better have my breakfast before it's the afternoon," he thought out loud, and that was normal too.

Roddy The Rooster is always first to rise in the morning, but not usually with a bonk to his beak.

Roddy rubbed his head and climbed to the roof of his barn to give his familar morning wake-up call.

Cassie The Carpetsnake was particularly put out, "Well, I'm not putting up with it! I'm going to somewhere safe until that station wagon full of city slickers leaves our beautiful farm!" And with that Cassie slid out of the barn.

Roddy The Rooster yelled out to Cassie as she left the barn, "You'd be safe in here, but if you want to go, remember, you must be back by morning. Before the Easter Bunyip comes! That's if you've been good all year and you want a scrumptious chocolate Easter Egg!!"

Joe The Jolly Jumbuck thought for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, Cheeky Chicks. That's a fair swap."

"Yippee," cried the happy Chicks and they gave Joe the flower pot and raced off with the colourful ball. "I hope you enjoy my colourful ball, Cheeky Chicks!" he called out.

Mrs Hen settled herself and Mrs Cow sat down in the hay.

"That's better," said Roddy, "Now calmly start at the beginning."

It had been a beautiful crisp Winter's morning at Tumbledown Creek Farm and, before breakfast, the Cheeky Chicks had asked their mother if they could visit Mrs Cow in her paddock.
