A DAY ON GRANDPA'S FARM

- S.H.P.

After dinner, my sister Ally, Cousin Johnny, and I went out to take a ramble in the barn and hunt for eggs. Pretty soon we heard Johnny calling, "Oh, come quick, and see what I have found!"
We ran quickly to the place where he was, and there we saw a hen with a brood of chickens. One of the chicks was on its mother's back, one was on the floor in front of her, and the others were peeping out from under her wings. It was a pretty sight.
After naming each of the chickens, we all made a search for eggs. We found one nest with five eggs in it, another with three, and another with two. Johnny put the eggs in his cap and carried them into the house.
He soon came running back, saying, "Now, let us go and have a swing." So, we all went to the swing and swung till we were tired. Then Ally said, "Oh, come and see the ducks swimming on the pond!" but Johnny said, "Wait till I get my boat, that Uncle Sam made for me."
