El pollo desplumado
(Book)

Translated from the English.

Translation of Featherless chicken. Originally published: Alhambra, Calif. : Heryin Books, c2006.

One day, a featherless chicken meets four chickens with splendid plumage. He wants to be their friend, but they look down upon him because he doesn't have any feathers. Dejected, the featherless chicken falls into a mud pile, and soon so many leaves and papers are sticking to him that the four chickens do not recognize him and want to be his friend because of his interesting plumage. When his feathers fall off, the other chickens learn that appearances can be deceiving and that friendship is about more than what is on the outside.

Un día, un pollo desplumado se encuentra con cuatro pollos de un plumaje espléndido. Quiere ser su amigo, pero ellos desdeñan al pollito desnudo. Abatido, el pollito se enfanga en un barrizal, y de pronto está cubierto con tantas hojas y papeles que los cuatro pollos no lo reconocen y quieren ser su amigo a causa de su plumaje interesante. Cuando sus plumas se caen, los otros pollos aprenden que las apariencias a veces son muy engañosas y que la amistad va más allá de lo que hay en el exterior.

Ages 5 and up.
