The Chickens Take a Holiday The sun was about to rise
on Farmer Tim’s farm. Chester Chicken woke up the cows with his
important news.
’The chickens are taking a holiday today,’ Chester
Chicken said.
’Is that so ?’ said Daisy the cow. ’What is the special
occasion ?’
’We worked too hard this week,’ Chester said.
’You
did ?’ asked Daisy.
’Yes ! We laid ten eggs this week,’ Chester said,
’and there are only five of us.’
Daisy smiled and nodded her head.
Ten was a lot of eggs for five chickens.
’Enjoy your day off,’ she
said.
’But what about us ?’ the other cows said to Daisy. ’We gave
Farmer Tim 100 pails of milk this week. There are only ten of us !’
Daisy
agreed with the cows too. 100 pails of milk would make a lot of cheese.
’But we can’t take a holiday on the same day as the chickens,’
Daisy said. ’What would Farmer Tim say ?’
Daisy and the cows moved
over to a patch of grass to have their breakfast.
’The chickens are
taking a holiday,’ Daisy told the trees. ’And we don’t think it’s fair.’
The
trees were not happy with this news.
’I’ve dropped over 1,000
apples this season,’ one said.
’And I’ve had a million cherries
picked !’ said another. The wind blew and the trees put on their angry
faces.
’We deserve a holiday more than the chickens !’ the trees
shouted together. ’We worked too hard all season.’
This woke up the
rake that was sitting on the grass underneath the trees.
’Have you
heard the news ?’ the apple tree asked the rake. ’The chickens are taking
a holiday. They think they worked too hard this week.’
