Quick Chick--飞毛腿小鸡.docVIP

It was early morning. Jenny Hen was sitting on her nest. “Good morning, Jenny Hen.” said Alice Pig. “Good morning.” said Jenny Hen. “Have you met my little chicks? This is Cute Chick, Sweet Chick, and Good Chick.” “But you are still sitting on an egg.” said Alice. “Yes.” said Jenny Hen. “This will be Nice Chick.” “Hatch, Nice Chick.” said Jenny Hen. “Hatch quickly. Then all my little chicks can learn their lessons together.” Chip Chip! The egg cracked. Two black, beady eyes peeped over the shell. Slowly a chick climbed out. Then he sat down. “You see.” said Jenny Hen. “He is a nice chick.” “He may be a nice chick.” said Alice Pig. “But he is very slow. Maybe you should call him Slow Chick.” “Just you wait and see.” said Jenny Hen. First Jenny Hen taught her little chicks to scratch for corn. Cute Chick and Sweet Chick did it. So did Good Chick. But the last chick did not. He scratched once to the right. He scratched once to the left. Then he stopped and looked around. Happy Halloween! “What dear little chicks.” said Mabel Goat. “But why won’t the littlest one scratch?” “He will.” said Jenny Hen. “My chicks will all learn their lessons.” “But when?” said Mabel. “He is so slow. Maybe you should call him Slow Chick.” “Just you wait and see.” said Jenny Hen. Next Jenny Hen taught her little chicks to dig for worms. Cute Chick and Sweet Chick did it. So did Good Chick. But the last chick did not. He dug to the right. He dug to the left. Then he watched the clouds go by. “Oh! Such sweet chicks.” said Lucy Duck. “But why won’t the littlest one dig?” “He will.” said Jenny Hen. “My chicks will all learn their lessons.” “But when?” said Lucy. “I think you should call him Slow Chick.” “Just you wait and see.” said Jenny Hen. Next Jenny Hen taught her little chicks to peck for seeds. Cute Chick and Sweet Chick did it. So did Good Chick. But the last chick did not. He pecked to the right. He pecked to the left. Then he stopped and yawned. “Oh, my chick.” said Jenny Hen
