Stray Bird

Newton: Did one of Ashton’s chickens escape her emporium? I had better round him up.

Newton: Do you need me to give you first aid? Ashton is going to be mad if you are hurt.

Newton: Wait a minute. You don’t smell like a chick. You’re a duckling!

Newton: That means you aren’t part of the chicken emporium. You can be all mine!

Ashton: Hi, Newt! Is that my chicken?

Newton: No, it’s a duckling. You don’t have a duckling emporium, so I’m sure that duckling isn’t yours.

Ashton: I’m pretty sure Miss Connie meant that little bird for my emporium. Don’t mess with him any more, Newt!

    I can see both your points – I have a feeling the winner may be the one with the strongest smacky paw.

    When Mom and Dad ride their bike, they go by a house that has chicks. They also have two ducks in the pen with them. We say that duckling belongs to Ashton! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
