Miss Lucy's
kindergarten class is very excited about four special surprises. |
| “OK,
boys and girls,” miss Lucy SAID, “TODAY I HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE
FOR YOU! WE HAVE FOUR
CHICKEN EGGS THAT I GOT FROM ONE OF THE NEARBY FARMS. WE
WILL KEEP THE EGGS UNTIL THEY HATCH AND ARE TWO MONTHS OLD. THEN I WILL GIVE THE CHICKS BACK TO THE FARM AND THE FARMER
WILL KEEP THEM. WHILE WE
HAVE THE CHICKS, EACH OF YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ONE OF THEM HOME OVER
NIGHT, AT LEAST TWICE. I AM
COUNTING ON YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AND CLEAN THEIR CAGE.” ALL OF THE
KIDS IN THE CLASS GOT EXCITED. IT
WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN MAY, FLOWERS WERE BLOOMING, AND SPRING WAS HERE. ALL
OF THE KIDS IN ROOM 24 OF JOSEPH p. MARCH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAITED FOR
THE EGGS TO HATCH. THEY
WATCHED THE EGGS ALL DAY AND THE DAY AFTER. FINALLY,
THE EGGS HATCHED. FOUR
LITTLE CHICKS CAME OUT, CHIRPING LIKE CRAZY. TWO
OF THEM WERE YELLOW, ONE OF THEM WAS WHITE WHITH BLACK SPOTS, AND THE
FOURTH ONE WAS BLACK WITH ONE SPOT ON HIS HEAD. THE
KIDS IN MISS LUCY’S CLASS DECIDED TO NAME THEM. ONE OF THE YELLOW CHICKS, THEY NAMED, MOE. THE
OTHER YELLOW ONE, THEY NAMED, CHUCKIE. THE
WHITE, WITH BLACK SPOTS, THEY NAMED, MARSHMALLOW. THE
BLACK ONE, THEY NAMED, PEPPER. EVERY
DAY, AFTER SCHOOL, FOUR KIDS IN ROOM 24, EACH TOOK HOME ONE CHICK TO
KEEP OVERNIGHT. THEY WOULD TAKE THE CHICK HOME IN A BOX WITH A LID, AND
THEY WOULD POKE HOLES IN THE BOX SO THE CHICKS CAN BREATHE. THE
KIDS WOULD FEED THE CHICKS AND THEN CLEAN THEIR BOX. ONE TIME, A KID LOST MOE IN HIS HOUSE, THEY FOUND MOE HIDING
UNDER THE WASHING MACHINE, AND THE KID WHO LOST MOE, COULDN’T TAKE
ANYMORE CHICKS HOME WITH HIM AGAIN. TWO
MONTHS LATER, THE CHICKS GOT BIG, AND THEY HAD TO GO BACK TO THE FARM. ALL
THE KIDS WENT ON A FIELD TRIP TO THE FARM TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO MOE,
CHUCKIE, MARSHMALLOW, AND PEPPER. AND
THE CHICKENS LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER ON THAT FARM. |
