The hen is off her pecking, so [NAME] tows her to the vet on the sled. The vet checks the leg, the wing and the neck and finds nothing. Then the hen hops onto the desk, sits, and sits... and out comes an egg. Not sick after all!

[NAME] makes a red paper jet and it flies beautifully: into a web, into the pond, and at last into a nest, where the hen decides it is hers and will not budge. [NAME] lets her keep it and heads back to the desk to make another.

[NAME] and Dad put up a tent in the yard, once it stops falling on Dad. A jet overhead, a bug on a leg, a hen nesting in the corner, and then the tent flops on [NAME]. Time to run inside, where Dad pitches the tent over the bed.

[NAME] wants a gift for Gran and nothing in the desk or the dress-up box will do. A bud on a stem is perfect, until the hen pecks it and a drip bends it. Gran loves it anyway, and the hug is the best part.
