It was a cold winter．The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding．When morning came，my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows. As we looked out of the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone．Our three hens had been blown away by the cold wind．
I looked at the emptiness outside．Then I saw all three chickens sitting around the edge of a white bucket．I couldn't believe my eyes! How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond？I quickly pulled on long snow pants and heavy winter coat, wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into large boots．
I shouted at the wind as it blew．I was alone，struggling in the snow．They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, peering at any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots as I walked against the wind．
As the snow circled around me，I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made．When I reached them，I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket，heads bent forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside．Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor，and they began to cluck softly．
As I shut the shed doors，my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheering，and so did I! I wasn't some dragon slayer(屠龙者) from a fairy tale. I was simply a mom，but the look on my children's faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom．
