what a funny sight it is to see a brood of ducklings with a hen ! --listen to the story of jemima puddle - duck , who was annoyed because the farmer 's wife would not let her hatch her own eggs . her sister - in - law , mrs . rebeccah puddle - duck , was perfectly willing to leave the hatching to some one else--"i have not the patience to sit on a nest for twenty - eight days ; and no more have you , jemima . you would let them go cold ; you know you would ! " " i wish to hatch my own eggs ; i will hatch them all by myself , " quacked jemima puddle - duck . she tried to hide her eggs ; but they were always found and carried off .
she does not have the patience to sit on a nest for twenty - eight days .
why was mrs. rebeccah puddle-duck willing to leave the hatching to someone else ?
