The Missing Chick By Valerie Gorbachev One day, Mother Hen and her chicks were hanging up the laundry. Mrs. Duck came by. Hello, said Mrs. Duck. I see that everyone is busy. Yes, said Mother Hen. My seven chicks are very good helpers. But I only see six chicks, said Mrs. Duck. Maybe we forgot one at home, said Mother Hen. She looked under the table and under the chairs. He's not here, said Mother Hen. She checked all the beds. He's not here either. Have you seen my chick, she asked the neighbours. No, they said, but we will help you look. Neighbour Goat looked in the bushes. He's not here, he said. Neighbour Sheep looked in the grass. He's not here, she said. Neighbour Pig looked under the porch. He's not here, she said. Where are you, little chick, called Mrs. Duck, hopping from one foot to the other. The police arrived. One of my chicks is missing, Mother Hen said. The police looked on the roof. They looked behind the chimney. They looked in the attic. He's not here, they said. The detective questioned the neighbours. He looked for footprints. He even talked to the little chick's brothers and sisters. But no one had any idea where the missing chick was. The firefighters showed up in their big red truck. The firefighters looked in all the trees. He's not here, they said. They looked at the bottom of all the hills. He's not here, they said. The missing chick was nowhere to be found. Where are you, little chick, cried Mother Hen. Where are you, little chick, cried the police officer in the helicopter. Where are you, little chick, cried everyone. It's awful, awful, awful, cried Mrs. Duck, running from one end of the clothesline to the other. Where are you, poor little chick? Suddenly, Mrs. Duck stopped wailing. Something had moved in the laundry basket. It was the missing chick. What were you doing in there, asked Mrs. Duck. I was taking a nap, said the little chick. But it got so noisy that I woke up. He is here, shouted Mrs. Duck. I found the missing chick. Mother Hen ran over. Oh, you found him. You found my missing chick. Thank you, thank you very much. Hooray, everyone cheered. The missing chick has been found. Now everything is as it should be, said Mrs. Duck. Don't get lost again, little chick. I won't, Mrs. Duck, said the little chick. I promise. The end. Can you see where little chick went to have another nap? Thank you kids for listening. I'll see you soon in another adventure. Bye for now.
