　　It was Mary's birthday. She received a letter from her uncle. “Dear Mary,” he wrote in the letter, “Happy birthday. I'm sending you some chickens. They will arrive tomorrow. I hope you'll like them. Uncle Toby.”

　　Mary was very pleased. She liked eating eggs and chicken. “I can keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them.” she thought.

　　When the chickens arrived the next day, they were put in a box. Mary was very happy. She took the box off the truck and began to carry it into her garden, but the box of chickens was so heavy that she dropped it.

　　The box fell on the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran here and there. Mary spent hours in trying to find them.
