Hattie was a big black hen.
morning she looked up and said,
"Goodness gracious me !"
I can see a nose in the bushes!
"Who cares?" said the sheep.
"So what?" said the horse.
"What's next?" said the cow.
And Hattie said,"Goodness gracious me! I can see a nose and two eyes in the bushes!"
And Hattie said,
"Goodness gracious me! I can see a nose and two eyes, two ears, two legs, and a body in the bushes!"
"Good grief!" said the goose."Well, well!" said the pig."Who cares?" said the sheep.
"So what?" said the horse.
"What's next?" said the cow.
"Oh, no!" said the goose.
"Dear me!" said the pig.
"Oh, dear!" said the sheep.
"Oh, help!" said the horse.
But the cow said, "Moo!"
so loudly that the fox was frightened and ran away.
And they were all so surprised that none of them said anything for a very long time.
