The boy did good
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 11:24 amThe farmer's son was returning from the market with the crate of chicken's his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open.
Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighbourhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate.
Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst.
"Pa, the chickens got loose" the boy confessed sadly "but I managed to find all twelve of them".
"Well, you did real good, son" the farmer beamed.
