Show TIME LIMIT Mrs. Jones went to her neighbor, Mrs. Smith, for some advice on how to rear chickens. After giving a few hints her neighbor neigh-bor wound up by saying: "Remember, a hen sits three weeks for chickens and four weeks for ducks." Mrs. Jones thanked her and went away to set her hen on some eggs. All went well for a fortnight, but suddenly Mrs. Jones began to get rather anxious. It was evident that something was worrying her. "Mary," she said to the maid, I'm going away for two weeks, so remember that if that hen sits more than another week take her off. I don't want ducks." |
