She dressed silently, thinking of what would taste the best for breakfast. She decided on French toast with honey. She took down the egg basket, wishing the sun would come up faster. The minute she stepped outside, things began to happen. The chickens began squawking, and a small dog she’d never seen before darted past her. She gasped as she looked after him. For a minute she was tempted to run back inside until it was light. But that was silly. She’d never been afraid of the dark. What harm could come from a reddish-looking little dog with a plumed tail? She couldn’t see a thing as she slid her hand into the warm nests and felt for eggs. When she had emptied all the nests, she had eight eggs. She stood still, frowning. This was curious. Jessie had found fourteen eggs the day before. If the chickens laid eight eggs every day, Jessie should have found a lot more than fourteen eggs. What had happened to the eggs the hens had laid before they got there? Cap said he hadn’t gathered them since he got hurt.
