Six pretty chicks explore the garden with their mother; these first experiences give them their first emotions and sensations. The first is afraid, the second is angry, the third is cold, the fourth is tired, the fifth is sad and the last is left alone, anxious. But each time, mother hen is there to console them and everyone is happy to find the soft and warm maternal fold. Together and reassured, they sing their favorite nursery rhyme which is also a nursery rhyme that all children know in the Arab world: "Al-sisân chou hilween ..." (in French: "Les chicks, tout mignons ...").. Takam Tikou
