Chapter 2:
Breaking
News
Mother Chicken thought that maybe old Farmer Frank found Egg Five
and placed it in her care. Mother Chicken loved all of her eggs,
One, Two, Three, Four, and now Five because that is what moms do. But Egg
Five’s loud snoring sometimes kept her awake.
One day, Egg One hatched and Mother Chicken was right; out came a
beautiful, fluffy yellow chick. It peeped.
The next day, Egg Two hatched and Mother Chicken was right again.
Out came another beautiful fluffy yellow chick. It “peep-peeped”.
On the next day, both Egg Three and Egg Four hatched. Mother
Chicken was again right. Two beautiful young fluffy yellow chicks popped out of
their shells. Chick three went “peep-peep-peep”, and Chick Four went “peep-peep-peep-peep”;
and Chick Four insisted on wearing part of his shell for a hat.
They were all fluffy yellow. They were all the same size. And there
sure was a lot of “peeping” going on.
Mother Chicken thought that now was a good time to invite the farm
friends to come and see her four new arrivals.Soon everyone was there; except for Pinky who was busy with her own
new babies. Timothy Turkey, and Up and Down looked on in wide eyed amazement.
Brutus and Ink Spot with daughter Mini looked in through an open window. Ink Spot expressed Pinky’s “congrats” in her
absence. Mary the mare found another window and her son; Stevey peered through
a broken wallboard of the hen house.
Wormy spied the celebration for Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three,
and Chick Four from the safety of his dark corner.
“What about the Oddball?” asked Stevey, which caused his mother Mary to nudge him
disapprovingly.
One by one everyone was soon gone leaving Mother Chicken alone again
with her four “peepers” and she admitted that she also was wondering when Egg
Five’s arrival would be.
Then, Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three, and Chick Four peeped.
“Peep”, “peep-peep”, “peep-peep-peep”, and “peep-peep-peep-peep”. Egg Five just
stood there, and … snored.
Egg Five did not hatch on day four or day five. It just snored.
Egg Five snored while Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three and Chick Four peeped. This
went on most all day and every day. As if in one of Up and Down’s musical
plays, together they went “Peep”, “Peep-peep”, “Peep-peep-peep”, and “Peep-peep-peep-peep”
and then, “Snore”.
The sun rose on Day Six with Daddy Rooster’s crowing in the
distance. Egg Five did not hatch. It just snored after the peeping of Chick
One, Chick Two, Chick Three and Chick Four. Again, they all went “Peep”,
“Peep-peep”, “Peep-peep-peep”, and “Peep-peep-peep-peep” and … “Snore”.
Egg Five did not even hatch on day eight or on day nine! So the
same daily chorus played, “Peep”, “Peep-peep”, “Peep-peep-peep”, and
“Peep-peep-peep-peep” followed by “Snore”.
Mother Chicken was a very good mother. She never got tired of all the
peeping; or the snoring. But she was beginning to think that this was becoming
a very long time to hatch even this big, snoring, egg!
Finally, on day ten, Egg Five started to move.
Stevey, who had his head poked in the broken wallboard almost
every day hoping to be the first to see the big egg hatch, was asked by Mother
Chicken to go and get everyone.
Soon all were all there; Timothy Turkey, Up and Down, Brutus, Ink
Spot, and Mini. This time Pinky was there with each of her little piglets. Led
by Parks, a piglet wearing a stocking cap, they each introduced themselves to
Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three and Chick Four. They then went back to Mother
Pinky as this seemed to be a safe distance from the “moving” egg.
“It’s the egg… the big one”, said Up, of the Up and Down Cat dual.
“Yeah, it’s crackin’ up,” said Down. These two enjoyed word games like that and
often later used it as new material in one of their shows.
It was indeed, “Egg Five” who seemed having waited for an audience
before really getting into action. Almost on cue, when everyone was there and
Mother Chicken quieted everyone, just then, things really started to happen.
Egg Five rolled. Then Egg Five turned. And then… Egg Five started
to craaaaack!
After moving, rolling, turning, cracking, and snoring a bit more…with one big crack, Egg Five… finally broke open.
Chick One, Chick Two, Chick Three and Chick Four all stopped their peeping. The entire
“audience” was absolutely “spellbound”.
There, sitting in half a broken shell, rocked the biggest, and the
oddest looking chicken, that was ever hatched in Farmer Frank’s henhouse!
Chick Five was not fluffy yellow like his siblings; he was more of
a fluffy white color with a kind of grey around his dark eyes. Chick Five was also
much larger than they were too. Chick Five also had a longer neck and longer
legs.
Looking at Mother Chicken, everyone saw that she loved him right
away! Mother Chicken announced, “You are the cutest looking chick that I have
ever seen!”
And, Chick Five didn’t peep. Chick Five squealed!
Mother Chicken then thanked everyone for coming and started to
gather her family in for the night.
When they were all gone, the peeping started in again. This time
squealing was mixed into the chorus. “Peep”, “Peep-peep”, “Peep-peep-peep”, and
“Peep-peep-peep-peep” went the four. Then there was the happy sound of the new
arrival, “Squeal!”
Mother Chicken loved her entire family. One, Two, Three, Four were
yellow and peeped. Five was white and grey; and squealed. She knew that one day they all would become
five beautiful full-grown chickens; well she wasn’t sure about Chick Five but
she loved him just the same.
