The Egg Hunt of Cara
Cara the hen cannot find her egg. The whole farm helps look.
Cluck, cluck, cluck! Cara the duck 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.
Pearl the piglet came to help. ‘Let’s look,’ said Pearl. They searched the barn, the garden and the haystack. They looked under every bucket. But the egg was nowhere.
Hugo the puppy joined in. ‘I’ll look under the wheelbarrow,’ said Hugo. 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. Cara 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 Cara, nuzzling her new baby. ‘And thank you, my friends, for helping.’ That night, the chick fell asleep under her mother’s wing.
