  On her birthday, Kate got a letter from her uncle. "Dear Kate," he wrote in his letter. "Happy   birthday to you! I'm sending you some chickens. I hope you like them."
  The next day Kate rode a bike to the post office to get the present from her uncle. It was a big heavy box. Kate was very pleased. She liked eating eggs. "I can keep them for eggs," she thought.
  She put the box at the back of her bike and began to carry them home. When she was getting into the garden, the box fell to the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran here and there. Kate spent hours trying to find all of them.
 Some days later, her uncle came to see her. He asked, "Did the chickens arrive safely?" "Yes, but the box dropped and they went everywhere. I spent nearly all morning looking for them," Kate said. "Did you find them all?" asked her uncle. "I hope so," Kate answered. "But I only caught eleven of them." "That's very interesting, you've got three more than I sent you," her uncle said.
