    “Two young men went to a dance one night.”

    There were some chickens in a house and they went out to the house.
    They caught a chicken and plucked her. When the woman of the house went out next morning she wondered very much when she saw the chicken.
    She was an old woman so she made a flannel jacket for the chicken.
    The chicken was a funny sight but she perished a few days after.
