Your story had good structure and dialogue, and was a good response to the prompt, although the saying is actually Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. It would have been even better if you had reduced the repetition within the piece, and edited it to remove some avoidable spelling errors. I would suggest that you look to tighten your writing and to write your drafts in Google docs or use Grammarly to identify issues and correct them before publishing.
