WHAT a funny sight it is
to see a brood of ducklings
with a hen!
-- Listen to the story of
Jemima Puddle-duck, who was
annoyed because the farmer's
wife would not let her hatch
her own eggs.

HER sister-in-law, Mrs.
Rebeccah Puddle-duck,
was perfectly willing to leave
the hatching to some one else
-- "I have not the patience to
sit on a nest for twenty-eight
days; and no more have you,
Jemima. You would let them
go cold; you know you would!"
"I wish to hatch my own
eggs; I will hatch them all
by myself," quacked Jemima
Puddle-duck.
