Hens Is Carious Animals.

A boy who was required to write an essay on hens produced the following: “Hens is curious animals. They don’t have no nose nor no teeth nor no ears. They swallow their whittles whole and chew it up in their crops inside of ’em. The outside of hens Is generally put into pillers and Into feather dusters. The Inside of a hen is sometimes filled with marbles and shirt buttons and sich. A hen is very much smaller than a good many other animals, but they’ll dig up more tomato plants than anything that ain’t a hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs for plum puddings. Hens have got wings and can fly w-hen they get frightened. I cut off a hen’s head with a hatchet, and it frightened her to death.”
