Have you ever seen something fall from the sky?
Have you ever told anyone about this discovery?
Did it make you feel afraid?
The story we’re going to tell today is still about chickens, but this time the protagonist is a little guy named Madd. This adorable little chicken has courage as small as his body. And with his poor eyesight, he wears a pair of comically large glasses, which has become one of the reasons his friends often tease him. But despite his timid appearance, Madd always wants to prove his abilities and strives to earn respect among others. The first step of his plan is to get everyone’s attention, so he joins the town’s baseball team. During an intense baseball game, a batter accidentally knocks an acorn loose, and it happens to hit Madd. The sensitive Madd is convinced it must be a piece of the sky—the sky must be falling! He starts panicking and shouting everywhere, which amuses all his little friends, who mock Madd for being so neurotic. Thinking about how he’s perceived in everyone’s eyes, Madd becomes even more discouraged.
At night, unable to sleep, Madd sits by the window, staring blankly at the stars. Suddenly, a mirror-like object falls straight onto his roof. Startled, Madd brings this hexagonal piece into his room and examines it carefully. Indeed, this strange mirror has magical properties. This fully confirms his experience and claim from the day: “The sky really is leaking,” and pieces are falling one after another. His discovery shocks the entire town that very night. After a wave of chaos, Madd, feeling as if he’s found a treasure, gathers all his friends to discuss how to deal with this sudden change and how to save the town that raised him.
Now, little Madd has become a town celebrity, but even heroes sometimes feel lonely and misunderstood. Fortunately, he has the support of many companions: an ugly duck with buck teeth, a chubby pig, a fish who never leaves its “water cap,” and, of course, the strong help of his family. After a magical and hilarious adventure, can the little chicken Madd truly become the hero who saves his entire town?
