Chicken In A Sack

Just like the majority of people in the past, Andri is a boy from a ordinary family. His mother and father's job is as a farmer. While farming, Andri's parents also raise chickens.

People who own chicken in the past usually let loose their chicken in the yard. When dusk, those chicken are caught to put in a sack. After that, those chicken are put in a cage.

One evening, Andri and his brothers were told to catch the chicken by his father. So the chores were split. His brother got a job to catch the mother which were only three. Meanwhile Andri, got a job to catch the chicks which were quite many.

Half an hour pass, finally those chicks and the mother are already in the cage. While Andri was folding the sack, he hears a chick's voice.

From it's voice, it looks like it was from behind the mango tree on the yard. So Andri approached that voice. There was 3 chicks that weren't caught yet.

At first, Andri was confused. He recalls that all of the chicken were already counted and they were precise. Then, where does these 3 chicks came from in front of his presence? Andri didn't bother considering his age is still young. He consider those three chicks as fortune. Then, he caught those three chicks and immediately put them in a sack. That sack then carried and draped on his shoulder while walking to the chicken's cage.

While walking, Andri felt weird. He felt that the sack he carried is getting heavier. "It wasn't suppose to be heavy for a sack filled with three chicks.", he said. Then, he heard a whisper with a hoarse voice.

"Nice... nice... nice..."

That voice was from inside the sack. Andri was shocked and quickly threw the sack to the ground. He saw the chicken turned into coconuts and their color were blackened. Those coconuts had a shell that's already wrinkle like it's dry up.

But the creepiest part is that those three coconuts each has 3 black holes. Those three black holes were round and it looks like a pair of eyes and a mouth. Those coconuts also have a few scratch that look like a face, but it wasn't that clear. Maybe like it was sculptured. From those holes that look like a mouth, those three coconuts whisper with a hoarse voice.

"Nice... nice... nice... please carry me again."

Andri immediately ran with fear into the house. When he's back with his father, those three coconuts were already gone...
