Hattie the Hen laid an egg.
"Cluck,"said Hattie.
Then she laid another egg.
"Cluck, cluck,"said Hattie.
And then another.
"Cluck, cluck,cluck,"said Hattie.
Then Hattie sat on her three eggs and waited.
And waited and waited and waited.
At last she heard a noise.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
"Who's there?"asked Hattie.
"Cheep!"said a chick.
Then Hattie heard another noise.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
"Who's there?"asked Hattie.
"Cheep,cheep!"said a second chick.
Then Hattie heard that noise again.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
"Who's there?"asked Hattie.
"Cheep,cheep,cheep!"said a third chick.
"Cluck,cluck,cluck,"said Hattie.
"What a happy day-three beautiful chicks!"
"But now where are they?"

"Let's play!"
