Don't Count Your Chickens

RuthMay has a new hobby: chickens. And she is completely hooked! She starts out with just two, but in no time at all, she has 16 chickens to cuddle and count, morning, noon and night. RuthMay is deliriously happy, but the chickens...well, that's a different matter. Fed up to the back beak with being cuddled and coddled, they escape to the park and teach RuthMay an important lesson. If you really love something, you have to set it free...and that applies to chickens too!
