Angie is spending a summer at her aunt and uncle's Tennessee farm so that she can experience something different from her urban life. The first chore her aunt assigns to her is to diffuse organic grains in front of the chicken coop at 6 A.M. every morning. This provides forage for the chickens. It doesn't take Angie long to learn that it is best to diffuse the grains quickly and get out of the way, unless she wants the chickens to come pecking her way.
