Marjorie the cow was down in the dumps.
“What’s wrong Margie?” asked the chickens.
“All of the other cows can ride bicycles, do handstands, and fabulous tricks. I cannot do ANYTHING SPECIAL!” gasped Marjorie in a
depressed voice.
“Even the pigs make fun of me!” whimpered Marjorie as she collapsed to the ground in tears.
Hmm…
Later that night…
AHHH!!!!
The next morning when Marjorie awoke…
“I’ve laid an egg!”
shrieked Marjorie.
Majorie was shocked!
The other cows were astonished!
The farmer and his wife were amazed.
The farmer’s wife called Oprah. She called Entertainment Tonight and ALL of the major
newspapers and news shows.
The paparazzi and everyone else came from far and wide to see the amazing cow
who had laid an egg.
Majorie was so happy.
The other cows were furious.
They did not believe she laid that egg.They accused the crafty chickens.

They waited and waited and waited.
Finally one morning there was an
abnormal noise.
Suddenly the egg split apart….It began to open….
There was a high-pitched gasp throughout the barn. Everyone was staring intently at
the small brown feathery bundle.
“See,” said the cows, “ A chicken.”They all fell over with laughter.
The feathery bundle slowly and meekly looked up at Marjorie and blinked.
it said loudly.
And she promptly named it “Daisy”.
