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 w as funny to see them pick up the little scraps.
We put the water in an old tin dish.
S plash! Splash! In went the duckling.
Oh, Speck was so funny!
H ens think ducklings cannot swim, but they can.
