Cheep! cheep! Oh, Mother, see this darling little chick!
Old Speck has ten of them.
There are seven black ones, and the rest are yellow. They are such darling little chicks!
I had a stick to get this black one from its mother.
I had to be so quick.
Speck gave me such a peck on the hand. See that big yellow one on the mother"s back. Did it say "Quack"?
Yes, it did.
Then it must be a ducking.
We must shut up the hen and her chicks in the shed.
Hickety, pickety, my black hen, She lays eggs for gentlemen,Sometimes nine and sometimes ten, Hickety, pickety, my black hen.
