A little chicken falls into a pit of despair, unable to move or flap his wings--will he be able to see the light of day again? Just a few moments ago, Niu Lai was trotting his way down the farm. Up until he slips and falls down a hill! He hits his forehead and is now unable to get back up! The other farm animals witnessed his downfall, leaving Niu Lai feeling so embarrassed.
