“Don’t run after the poor hen,” he said.

“The hen had a nest,” remarked Benny.

“What?” asked Jessie.

“She had some eggs in it,” said Benny. “Come here and see.”

Jessie looked on the ground where Benny was pointing and saw a nest with five eggs in it.

“A runaway hen!” said Jessie. “She wanted to hide her nest so she would have some chickens. We’ll have the eggs for supper. I know how to cook eggs.”

The eggs made a delicious supper. Jessie put them in a bowl, with a little salt, and Violet took a spoon and stirred them as hard as she could.

“Put in some milk, Violet,” said Jessie, “and stir them some more.”

Henry started up the fire. The big kettle was hung over the fire, and Jessie put in some butter. She watched the butter until it was nice and brown, and then she put in the eggs.
