“A new medicine? You? What rubbish!” she yelled.

“I did! I did!” George shouted.

“You’re lying as usual!” Grandma yelled. “You’re always lying!”

“I’m not lying, Grandma. I swear I’m not.”

The wrinkled old face high up on the roof stared down suspiciously at George. “Are you telling me you actually made a new medicine all by yourself?” she shouted.

“Yes, Grandma, all by myself.”

“I don’t believe you,” she answered. “But I’m very comfortable up here. Fetch me a cup of tea.”

A brown hen was pecking about in the yard close to where George was standing. The hen gave him an idea. Quickly, he uncorked the medicine bottle and poured some of the brown stuff into the spoon. “Watch this, Grandma!” he shouted. He crouched down, holding out the spoon to the hen.

“Chicken,” he said. “Chick-chick-chicken. Come here. Have some of this.”

Chickens are stupid birds, and very greedy. They think everything is food. This one thought the spoon was full of corn. It hopped over. It put its head on one side and looked at the spoon. “Come on, chicken,” George said. “Good chicken. Chick-chick-chick.”

The brown hen stretched out its neck toward the spoon and went peck. It got a beakful of medicine.

The effect was electric.
