Pip's Ten Hens
Pip felt sad. He had ten red hens. "Oh, no!" said Pip. His ten red hens were not in the pen. They had run off! Pip must get them back before bed.
Pip saw the hens by the wet net. They hid in the tall bed of green stuff. Pip did not want to beg them. He ran to the tub. Pip got wet from the tub. He set the wet hen back. He led the rest to the pen. Pip said, "Go, hen, go to the pen!" One by one, the red hens ran to the pen. Pip then set a peg to hold the pen door. He gave a nod. The ten hens were good.
