The Missing Chickens by Zoe
1
Once I was looking for my chickens. They were missing. All eight of them, missing! I went looking for them.

I was looking all over our house. They weren’t there, so I went outside down the slippery path. I was not sweating because it was cold outside. I was looking very hard. I even looked in my dad’s tractor.

My mom came out and looked with me, but my dad could not look because he was at work. I went to the chicken coop then I checked the garden. Suddenly I saw a black thing running around the wheel barrow. It was a chicken!

One down seven to go! I put the chicken back in the coop. I turned around and something caught my eye. It was behind the barn. It was another chicken, and another, and another! All of them! I gathered them up with some help from my mom and dumped them in the coop! Phew!

Finally, I went back to my house. With my eight chickens safely in their coop I could practice piano. Until they escape again!
