Where Is Olive’s Egg?
Olive the hen cannot find her egg. The whole farm helps look.
Cluck, cluck, cluck! Olive the cow 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.
Jonah the duck came to help. ‘Let’s look,’ said Jonah. They searched the barn, the garden and the haystack. They looked under every bucket. But the egg was nowhere.
Kiki the kitten joined in. ‘I’ll look in the hay,’ said Kiki. 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. Olive 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 Olive, nuzzling her new baby. ‘And thank you, my friends, for helping.’ That night, the chick fell asleep under her mother’s wing.
