Farm Trick

My Grandpa and Grandma have a farm. We went to visit them.
Grandpa had some new chickens. The chickens were not laying eggs.
Every day Grandpa checked to see if the chickens had laid eggs.
Every day Grandma asked him if there were any eggs.
Every day Grandpa said, “No, not yet.”
Then Dad played a trick on Grandpa. I helped him. We took eggs from the
kitchen and hid them in the chickens‟ nest boxes.
When Grandpa found the eggs in the boxes, he shouted, “We have eggs! We
have eggs!” He walked back to the house with a bucket of eggs. Grandma and
Grandpa danced around the kitchen.
“Where will I put them?” asked Grandpa.
“In the empty carton in the fridge,” said Dad with a smile.
Poor Grandpa!
