But the family didn't know that Percy the peacock had magical powers.Next door to their farm lived a chicken. His name was Arthur, and he was an evil chicken. When he was a little chick, some witches put poison in his water, which made him evil.Over the years, Arthur the chicken had built a castle to live in. There were huge sturdy walls and twisty, tall towers. The castle even had a smelly, dirty dungeon.One day while Arthur was walking along the highest tower, he saw Percy the peacock practicing. He was kicking a wooden man with his super strength. Then all of a sudden, lightening came from Percy's wings and struck down a nearby tree.When Arthur saw Percy using his lightening power, he poked up with an idea. His idea was to kidnap the children that Percy lived with, to get Percy to come to his castle so he could steal his powers.That night, Arthur snuck into the garden of Stacy and Oscar and laid out his traps. These traps were sneaky. They were holes in the ground, and when a child falls into it, it teleports them to the dungeon of his castle.He crept back to his castle, and waited.The next weekend the children were just about to play when they saw a hole.

He ran down to the dungeons and then noticed it was trap for him! Arthur was stood waiting for him by the locked up children."Percy, save us please" called the children.Then Arthur ran straight towards Percy and nearly snatched Percy's powers, but in a lightning flash, Percy handed over powers to Oscar.Oscar makes an exit with the lightning powers by smashing the roof and then let Stacy go first and then he was out.Finally, the kids had escaped. Percy shouted to them "Go and save yourselves!!! I can handle it on my own".The children ran to their Daddies Max and Owen and said "Percy our peacock is trapped in Arthur's dungeon". Please can you help us.Max and Owen as very brave daddies went to the castle, defeated Arthur and had him as a roast.
