Egg? (by Jessie)

Setting the scene: It is an average evening at Murmur Creek Farm. Ken and Rosetta are preparing supper while Jessie, Micaiah, and Samuel are caring for the animals. They have already fed the goats and are checking on the chickens. Jessie and Micaiah are in the coop trying to save an injured hen from some bully roosters, eventually they get the roosters calmed down and Jessie glances over at the nesting boxes. "Is that an egg?" 

      Jessie walks over to the small round object and picks it up. Micaiah comes over also and examines the object. After seeing a small crack and some hay stuck to the smooth brown surface Jessie exclaims,  "That is an egg!" 

      The two siblings dash inside to show their parents. On the way they pass Samuel who questions them, they answer with a quick "we found an egg!" and continued towards the house. Inside the house there is a lot of excitement, but also much questioning, "WHAT?" "where did you find it?" "Is it real?" "Are you teasing us?!" "I thought we weren't supposed to have eggs until September" "Well it is pretty close to September," "I wonder who laid it?" "That is really awesome!" "I can't believe they actually laid it in one of the nesting boxes!" 

     With much anticipation they await to see what will be found the next few weeks in the chicken coop of Murmur Creek Farm.
