One of my chums, Charlie, said, "May I help you to feed the chicks?"So I let him fetch a can of water. I had a tin of scraps.
I said, "Charlie! Catch old Speck, and you and I shall feed the chicks."But Speck went to peck Charlie, and he ran off. Then Speck said, "Cluck! Cluck!"The chicks ran up to the mother. She fed
them.
It was funny to see them pick up the little scraps.
We put the water in an old tin dish. Splash! Splash! In went the duckling. Oh, Speck was so funny!
Hens think ducklings cannot swim, but they can.
