Died twice How the little folks open
Their eyes. No, suppose il did not
really die twice. but we thought it did.
Shall / tell you about it?
Kate had three hens, and they III
wanted to set SO she gave each at them
whole nestful of nice white eggs
When the first hen had set three weeks
She Matched out one little chiclv. and
that was ALL
Kate said she did not want the hen to
run around with just one chicken. but She
would take care of it herself few days
until the next hen Matched. and then give
II to her So She put it in ii box and fed
it with crumbs, and at night She covered
it mp, snug and warm.
But one day She went off with me TO
ride on the cars she put some dough and
a cup OF water in the boz. and some rag,
in the corner for chicky to sleep under
and then She went of and staid four whole
days. Poor little chiclly How lone
some he was And when it grew dark.
and lac tried to crawl under the rags, he
did not have any body to tuck them down
good and warm around linn. do not
think that any little girl who read. this
would leave a chicken atone SO long.
Would YOU?
When we came home, chicky was peep
my and crying us loud as he could and
oh how glad he was to see us
The next day, the other old hen Matched
just one little chicken we let her set
three days longer, but she did not hatch
any more So Kate said She would put
that chiclly with the other one. and keep
them till the third hen Matched.
When she put it in the box, You ought
to have seen how funny old chicky looked
lhe was not very old, but then he had
lived iii the box whole week. 50 w,
called him old chicby. and the one that
WAS Just Matched, little chicky he
would tip his head first to one side. aud
then to the other. and look at little chick
50 strangely, us ii he wondered what
queer thing that was
Every time little chick would 90 toward
him, old chick would dodge ont of its
way and run backward to the other end
of the box. We put some dough in fol
them to eat. Old chiclly went to eating.
but every time little chick came near. h,
would straightcn up very tall. and look
very cross, and fit came to near he.woiilr
peck it on the head.
So we took little chick ont and tried
to feed it, but it didno know how to eat.
and we put it back. We Thought they
would get acquainted before night. but
old chicly kept a, much afraid of his
little ledger as ever.
