Every cock in the neighborhood wanted the attention of Fanti.
They couldn’t resist her brown and white feathers, she was barely six months
old, but she had grown faster than her peers. She was plump and very
extroverted, she had maroon eyes and loved to play hide and seek with the male
cocks who couldn’t stop admiring her. To further seal Fanti’s position as the
most beautiful hen in the neighborhood were the two blue feathers on her tail.
These were special God marks, it wasn’t there when she was hatched, but had
practically grown overnight. At first everyone thought it was a sort of paint
stain, but as time went on, they turned into a really beautiful trademark.
Cliff was a normal cock, he was a little bit shy among
strangers and hens, but could be really funny and expressive when at home or in
the company of friends. One Sunday afternoon, after the humans had come back
from church and discarded the remainders of their lunch, cliff was lucky enough
to be in the neighborhood and therefore was the first to arrive on the scene.
Soon, Fanti and some other young hens arrived on the scene. Immediately cliff
saw Fanti, he was struck with a feeling he couldn’t explain, he compulsively
stopped picking at the delicious grains of rice scattered in front of him, all
that occupied his mind was the sight of Fanti picking the grains gracefully, and
he couldn’t resist the attraction of her two blue feathers. Cliff stood there
confused with regards to the next step to take. He knew he was very shy and was
not handsome enough to approach Fanti, he had heard countless stories of how
the exquisite young hen had turned down advances by more handsome and matured
cocks. It was generally rumored that Fanti was still a virgin, her pride won’t
let her concede sexual accent to any male.
Cliff however mustered a little courage and walked towards Fanti
who now turned around and gave him a glance from top to bottom as if assessing
if he was even qualified to stand next to her, she never imagined this ugly
looking, bare footed cock could muster enough courage to speak to her. She
assumed he was just one of those cowardly cocks who only came around to admire
her blue feathers but couldn’t mutter a single word for fear of being
humiliated.
Koker stood a distance away watching the drama between Fanti
and cliff unfold, he watched as Cliff muttered some inaudible words to Fanti,
who just stared at him the way a baby chick would stare at her reflection in
the water for the first time. Just last week, Koker had been thoroughly
humiliated by the egocentric Fanti, unluckily for him, several other hens were
gathered when he had gone to ask Fanti out on a date. She seized the
opportunity to thoroughly embarrass and disgrace him that he couldn’t come
outdoors for a full week. Koker was a smooth talker, a handsome cock who had
never been resisted by a hen. He had thought that with his pedigree, he could
easily flatter his way into Fanti’s heart, but to his greatest surprise, she
had turned him down in the most disgraceful way. After this incident, Koker
swore to himself that he would do all in his power to successfully woo Fanti
and regain his reputation which she had greatly battered. A week after that
encounter, Koker had gathered enough raw grains to buy a full change of
clothes, he mused within himself that a set of new clothes could probably wow Fanti
and make her change her mind. Today Koker had worn his new outfits and had gone
out hoping to run into Fanti one way or the other.
Koker started walking towards Fanti and cliff, when he got
closer, Fanti who was already in a bad mood foe having been distracted from her
lunch looked up at Koker angrily. She starred at his black face cap, then her eyes
rested on the fake yellowish gold-chain that hung on his neck, she noticed his
shirt was new and the ripped jeans was fairly new. She was still frowning, it
was obvious that she was totally unimpressed by what she had seen so far, but
suddenly both Koker and cliff were surprised, Fanti was staring at Koker’s feet
and smiling. Koker and cliff thought she was making jest of him, then Fanti
still smiling looked up and starred Koker in the face, it was obvious now that
she was impressed about something. While both cocks were still trying to
understand what had gotten the attention of Fanti, Fanti came forward and held Koker
in a warm embrace.
Cliff starred at the floor in shame, then suddenly,
something colorful caught his attention. Koker was wearing a very beautiful
shoe, he had never seen any shoe as beautiful as this before, he made a mental
note to ask Koker about the price and location where he bought the shoe. Then
he looked up seeing Fanti holding Koker so closely, he realized that the shoe
was what broke down Fanti’s walls. Fanti had an eye for fashion and had loved
the shoe immediately she saw it. Fanti had fallen in love with Koker because of
his Nike shoes.
