The Well Educated hen

Once a hen went into a library

she said to the librarian

'booooooook book book book book'

the librarian was surprised but gave the hen a book

the hen strutted off with the book under her wing

a week later the hen returned the book

she said to the librarian

'boooooook, booook book book boooook'

the librarian, more used to the idea now issued the hen with another book

another week passed and the hen returned again with the book... she clucked to the librarian

'booooooook boooooook book book'

the librarian did as usual, gave the hen a book, only this time she followed the hen home

she saw the hen go out of town and into the wood,

there she watched her slither down a grassy slope to a pond

in the centre of the pond was a huge green lily pad and in the centre of the lily pad was a small green frog

the hen put the book on the bank of the pond and announced to the frog

'booooooook book book book boooooook'

the frog leaped to the side of the book and looked at the hen and said

'read-it read-it read-it'
