action
Father, mother and son drive together to a chicken farm. Here the son chases the broilers up and finally takes one in his arms. The family buys the chicken and keeps it in their shed. At dinner the son wants to know what is being done with broiler chickens (chicken) and the father replies that they are being eaten. Chickens (poule), on the other hand, are not eaten because they end up laying eggs. The boy likes the broiler like a pet and draws it at school. The parents are already interested in what will happen to the feathers and how they will prepare the animal. When the boy asked when the broiler should be eaten, the father replied "on Sunday".
The next night the boy secretly gets up and lays an egg from the refrigerator with the chicken. The next morning the father is astonished to find an egg. The next morning there is also an egg next to the chicken and the boy secretly buys a large number of eggs at the market so that he can regularly add more eggs. The family eventually believes that the chicken farm was wrong. She decides not to eat the chicken. The next morning the father wakes up because the chicken crows. He immediately suspects that his son is behind all the confusion. He tearfully confesses that otherwise the chicken will be eaten and the family decides to keep the chicken. The son is happy and the father realizes that he always knew that it was actually a chicken.
