35. 1st Grade SRR: Ten Pet Hens

Dad knows Nell. “Nell, this is Jan,” Dad said. “Nell sells us eggs.” Hens look up at Jan.

​

Can hens make good pets? Nell nods yes. Nell has ten pet hens. Nell tells Jan about hens.

Hens can not fly. Hens eat bugs and mash. Hens make eggs. Yum, yum! Hens sit on eggs.

Nell fed the hens some mash. Ten hens ran to peck at it. Jan pats hens by Nell.

​

My shin is red!” sobs Jan. “It is a rash,” said Dad. Dad calls Doc Hill. “Jan has a rash,” Dad tells him

“It is the hens,” Doc tells Dad. “Jan gets a rash if she pats hens.” Jan could not get hens as pets.
