The Story Mrs Wilkinson is blissfully happy with her four chooks, Charlotte, Maureen, Violet and Shirley. She fails to see how others perceive their behaviour and the problems they cause. A change of circumstances, as she goes to live with her brother in the country, solves the problem. She never does realise the impact of her chooks on the poeple who live around her - who really have been very tolerant! The story allows echoes in the mind of the reader as they wonder how the same story might have been told by the neighbours.
