Playful Proverbs: Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch


Don’t Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch 🐔🥚

Welcome to another magical tale from By Kids For Kids Story Time! 🎧✨ This story is part of our Playful Proverbs series, where we weave delightful stories around well-known sayings to help children understand their meanings and the valuable lessons behind them. In today’s episode, we bring you the amusing and wise tale of a hen who learned a very important lesson: Don’t count your chickens before they hatch! 🐥

Let's jump into this funny, feather-filled adventure! 🎉💫




The Story: Don’t Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch 🐣

Our story begins with a very excited hen 🐔 who wakes up one morning sitting on her nest. She proudly clucks and stretches, feeling the eggs beneath her. The excitement grows when she counts her eggs—twenty beautiful eggs all ready to hatch into fluffy little chicks! 🐥💕

Feeling like the queen of the barnyard 👑, she rushes off to tell all the other animals about her soon-to-be huge brood. She’s bursting with pride! But when she returns to her nest, her happiness quickly turns to shock 😮. It turns out, the "eggs" she had been counting so excitedly were not eggs at all—they were stones! 😬🥚🪨


The hen had counted her chickens before they hatched, which reminds us of the important lesson: Don’t get ahead of yourself and make plans before you know things will turn out! 🧠✨


What Did We Learn? 🌟

The story teaches us that it’s always a good idea to wait and be patient before making plans or celebrating too early. Just like the hen who was excited about her twenty chicks, sometimes we get carried away thinking about what could happen—but we need to wait and see! 🌱


Key Takeaways:

  • Patience is important 🕰️. It’s better to wait for things to happen than to rush and get excited too soon.

  • Don’t jump to conclusions! 🧐 Like the hen, sometimes we think something is true, but we need to check first.

  • Stay humble 🤲. The hen learned not to brag too soon; we should celebrate once things are certain!
