Juno and the Missing Egg
Juno the hen cannot find her egg. The whole farm helps look.
Cluck, cluck, cluck! Juno the rabbit was in a flap. Her egg was gone! She had left it in the nest for just one minute, and now there was nothing but a few feathers.
Finn the lamb came to help. ‘Let’s look,’ said Finn. They searched the barn, the garden and the haystack. They looked under every bucket. But the egg was nowhere.
Olive the duck joined in. ‘I’ll look in the hay,’ said Olive. And that’s where they heard it, a tiny tap-tap-tap. Something was moving inside a warm little nest.
Crack! The egg wobbled and opened. Out popped a fluffy yellow chick. ‘Peep!’ said the chick. Juno had rolled the egg to a warm spot and forgotten! She gasped, and then she laughed.
The whole farm gathered to see. ‘Welcome, little one,’ said Juno, nuzzling her new baby. ‘And thank you, my friends, for helping.’ That night, the chick fell asleep under her mother’s wing.
