One evening
we ,my brother,his friends,our maid servant's daughter and me were playing hide and seek, in the backyard
of our house.Boys climbed the trees and one climbed the attic of the cow shed
and we girls hid behind the
heap of hey
and inside the quarry, from where the stones were dug for the construction of
the house. When we entered the quarry we heard a shrill kiyo
kiyo… voice
of chicks. .We looked every where to find out
from where
the sound comes from .At last we saw a
big hole, like a cave
in the wall
of the trench. When we peeped into it we saw in dim light ,very young egg like chicks with shining eyes, frightened ,clinging
together.We took them out carefully.They were eleven in number,.By the time
from a distance
the mother
hen came running making a sound and looking at our face demanding her baby-chicks. We.We took the chicks and hen also
inside the house
gave them a
basket ,spread hey inside and made it
soft for the chicks and kept it at the attic of our barn.
Hen got into
the basket and sat spreading it’s feather and wings and kept all the chicks
inside her wings.Only then mum and others knew that the hen laid eggs in that
hole and hatched.
