Aunt Hste's Stories Por Children
My dear little ones: ®
I hope you will like your barnyard series. I wish all little
girls and boys might have a little place of their own to raise
chickens and ducks and turkeys, etc.
Now to-night X want to tell you the story of
THE TIME OLD BLACK HEN STRUCK
Once upon a time in Barnyard Village lived the dearest little
Black Hen you ever saw. She was just a fat. roily polly sort of a
creature with a shiny black suit and little beady eyes. Well w hen
■he trrew biff pnouKh to l£iy CKKS Ilk® her friends she WHS just
too pleased for anything. She laid the whitest, prettiest eggs
that were laid In her coop house and she was very proud of them,
because, you see, she had been led to believe all her life that _
when she was able to lay eggs she could hatch a little brood of
chickens all her own. .
But little by little Black Hen found out that eggs were not
only laid In order to hatch little baby chickens. No, indeed—in
fact she became quite Indignant over the way she was treated
for no sooner had she laid a pretty, big, white egg and started to
cackle a bit nbout It to her neighbor hens, and tell them what a
fine thing she had done, than some big giant of a man or woman
came out to the nest where It lay. and without so much as a
"thank you" or "by-your-leave" carried the pretty egg which
Black Hen considered all her ow/i, away—and she never so much
as saw the shell of It again.
Well Black Hen just stood it as long as she could —but at
last she got up her dutch. If you know what that means—she
ruffled her black feathers a bit —and she made up her mind she
would not lay another egg—no sir, not one more egg. ho she
Just sat on the nest all day and would not budge; and whenever
anv one came to look for an egg she picked at them and ruffled
some more until she looked about twice us big and fierce as she
really was. .. . .
The folk from the farmhouse got so cross that what do you
suppose they did to poor old Mrs. Black Hen. Well, they Just
pulled her out of that nest by the back of her shiny back tall
and threw her—ruffles and peck and all—out Into a driving rain.
My, but Mrs. Black Hen carried on. She Just cackled una
cackled, and cackled; and clucked and clucked —for she was

furious and I don't blame her—especially when she heard one of
the farm hands saying:
"That'll cure her. She Just wants to hatch."
"Cure me Indeed!" snlfTed Mrs. Black Hen. "I'll show them."
So she just kept up her dutch—lndeed, I think she got It up some
more—and refused to lay eggs—she Just would not lay eggs, but
every chance she got she crawled back to that nest—and sat some
more and brooded.
Well, one day Mrs. Black Hen was rewarded for sticking to
her Idea. She heard the farmer say as he came out to look at
her:
"Give her thirteen eggs and set her—perhaps she'll feel better
then."
Well, sure enough the next day out came the farmer man with
thirteen of the prettiest eggs and laid them In the nest —and for
six long weeks no one disturbed her or said a word to her—ln
fact they were as nice as could be and brought her things to eat
and rlrinks of water—and poor Mrs. Black Hen commenced to
think after all the world was right nice.
There she sat—day after day—ln sunshine or In rain—for three
long weeks, and after while she was rewarded once more—tor
one morning she awakened and right beneath her left wing she
heard a faint "peep-peep" as If It were muffled. Well, she just
moved a bit—and there she saw one egg was picked—and a tiny
little voice was saying: "Let me out, mother Black Hen; I am
your first baby come to live with you."
And after while there was a rap on the door of another shell
and another voice said:
"Let me out, Mother Black Hen, I have come to live with you."
And so all through that happy day one by one the little egg
shell doors opened and one by one little babies came out until
Mother lilack Hen was the happy and proud mother of thirteen
little yellow fussy-wussy babies.
Ami then such a proud "peep-peeping" and cluck-clucking
you never heard —and even old Daddy Booster joined in the fuss
and celebration with about ten more "cock-a-doodles" than usual.
"Kor after all." said he, "Black Hen makes a very beautiful
mother and I don't blame her In the least for wanting to show
what a line mother she really could be—and those babies are
pippins."
