Summary "The Curly-Haired Hen" by A. Vimar is a charming children's story written in the early 20th century. It centers on the life of Mother Etienne, a devoted woman who dedicates her life to caring for the animals on her farm. The tale explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the bonds between humans and animals, highlighting the heartwarming adventures of a unique hen named Yollande. The story unfolds at Mother Etienne's farm, where she nurtures a variety of animals, particularly a Cochin-China hen named Yollande. After a misadventure that nearly claims Yollande’s life, she miraculously revives, transforming into a celebrity due to her curly feathers. As her fame grows, the arrival of Sir Booum, a circus owner seeking to buy Yollande, tests Mother Etienne's love and devotion. Ultimately, she decides against selling her beloved hen, leading to unexpected fortunes and sweet resolutions for the farm and its inhabitants, including Germaine and Petit-Jacques, who end up happily together. The narrative weaves humor, tenderness, and valuable lessons about kindness towards animals and the rewards that come from such love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
