- I was sitting here by the fire wan night late. There was a hen in the corner over there lying on some eggs.
I saw two rats come in under the door, and wan of them rolled out an egg from under the hen. He did it so easy that the hen never warred him doing it.
The the two rats got behind the egg, at an end each, and rolled it out under the door. I was sitting here by the fire and I never said a mite to them.
