Pip had a job. He ran to his dad, Ben. “Let me help, Dad,” said Pip.
Ben had many hens. The hens ran in the pen. Ten big hens were in the pen. But a red pest ran at the little ones. It made them run away. The little ones did not get to their bed. Pip saw this.
Pip said, “I must help.” He got a small net. He went to the red pest. Pip set the net. The red pest was in the net! Pip put the red pest in a new den. Now, the little hens can get to their bed. Ben met Pip. Ben said, “You are good, Pip.”
