Quackers Lays Eggs in her Nest

Quackers laid eight eggs before the people found her nest hidden behind the wall of ivy. The kindly woman and the small boy stole all her eggs away. They robbed the cradle of her unborn children! Obviously this place wasn't as safe as she had thought.

She needed to find a better place. She searched around the front of the whole giant building and found a lonely pathway on the other side. There, Quackers found a thicket of wide leaves. This little thicket looked like a safe enough place to build a nest. She began gathering twigs and chips from the mulch under the bushes. Again she arranged them in a nice circle around herself until she had built a cozy nest. She carefully covered it with dried leaves so no one would ever know it was there. She decided to never be seen during daylight near her nest in order to never give the people a clue of its location.

It was fourteen days before the people found the nest. It was actually the gentle man of the house who found it while gardening in that vicinity one day. Fourteen eggs lay in the nest. The kindly woman and small boy took a dozen eggs from her nest. They also added a plastic play egg to the remaining two.

Cradle robbers! And they must take me for a total fool. I know this toy egg isn't real. I know its not one of my eggs. As long as they left me a couple of eggs, though, I hope someday I'll get some chicks.
