One—Startling Screech
The zoo lady in the zoo uniform opened the tiny little door of the tiny little house. Tiny little baby chicks tumbled topsy-turvy out onto the grass.
“Look Grami!” cried Aimi. “The tiny little baby chicks are coming to see me!”
And that is exactly what they
were doing. Aimi had a big
smile on her face. The camera
man with the big black
mustache and the floppy hat
took another picture and
another and another.
“How many tiny little baby chicks are there?” asked Grami.
They were hard to count because they were running here, there, and everywhere. Aimi counted once. Aimi counted twice. Then Aimi counted a third time just to
make sure. “I count twelve tiny little baby chicks,” said Aimi at last. “Come closer, come closer,” she coaxed. And the tiny little baby chicks came closer. Their little feathers were creamy-white. Their tiny wings were fuzzy.
