The story

What Is Incorrectly Drawn Hen About?

The premise of Incorrectly Drawn Hen without spoilers.

A slow‑witted student sketches a Picasso‑inspired chicken on the classroom blackboard. The drawing magically springs to life, dashes away, and ends up in the teacher’s garden. Mistaking it for a previously unknown creature, the teacher proudly names the bird after himself.
