It was Betty's birthday, December 6th. She received (接收) a letter from her uncle. “Dear Betty,” he wrote in his letter, “Happy birthday! I'm sending you some hens (母鸡). They will arrive (到达) the day after tomorrow. I hope you'll like them. Uncle Tony. December 5th.”

Betty was very happy. She likes eating eggs and chicken. “I can keep the hens for their eggs or eat them.” She thought.

When the hens arrived, they were in a box. Betty was very pleased (高兴). She took the box off the truck and began to carry it into her garden, but the box of hens was so heavy that she dropped (掉落) it.

The box fell on the ground and broke (摔坏). The hens all ran out. They ran here and there. Betty spent hours trying to find them.

A few days later, her uncle came. He asked, “Did the hens arrive safely (安全地)?” “Yes, but I dropped the box. It broke open and the hens ran everywhere. It took me the whole (整个) morning to look for them.” Betty said.“Did you find them all?” asked her uncle. “I hope so,” Betty answered, “but I only caught (抓到) eleven of them.”“That's interesting. I only sent you six.” her uncle said with a smile.
