Snowy Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Reading Phil's post on Feeding Pigeons reminded me of a story that my boys love: HUNGRY HEN There was once a very hungry little hen, and she ate and ate, and grew and grew, and the more she ate, the more she grew. Up on the hill lived a fox. Every morning the fox stared down at the farm and the hen would come out of her coop looking bigger than ever. But every morning, as the fox began to sneak down towards the farm, he would stop and think, 'If I wait just one more day, the hen will be even bigger.' And so he waited and waited and waited, and the hen grew bigger and bigger, and the fox grew hungrier and hungrier, and thinner and thinner. Until one day, the fox looked down at the farm, and all he could see was the hen's enormous head squeezing through the door of her coop. The fox could stand it no longer. He began to run. He ran and ran. He ran faster and faster, straight down the hill, through the farm, and crashed through the window into the hen's hut. The fox looked at the hen. The hen looked at the fox. The fox licked his lips. And just as the fox was about to pounce........ the hen bent down and gobbled him all up! (I love a happy ending, don't you?? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
