On her birthday, Kate got a letter from her uncle. “Dear Kate,” he wrote in his letter. “Happy birthday to you! I'm sending you some chickens. I hope you like them.”

　　The next day Kate rode a bike to the post office to get the present from her uncle. It was a big heavy box. Kate was very pleased. She liked eating eggs. I can keep them for eggs, she thought.

　　She put the box at the back of her bike and began to carry them home. When she was getting into her garden, the box fell to the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran here and there. Kate spent hours trying to find all of them.

　　Some days later, her uncle came to see her. He asked, Did the chickens arrive safely?

　　Yes, but the box dropped and broke open. The chickens went everywhere. I spent nearly all morning looking for them, Kate said.

　　Did you find them all? asked her uncle.

　　I hope so, Kate answered. But I only caught eleven of them.

　　译文：

　　凯特在生日那天收到一封叔叔写给她的信。他在信中写“亲爱的凯特，生日快乐。我寄给你一些小鸡。我希望你喜欢它们。”

　　第二天凯特骑自行车到邮局去取叔叔送给她的礼物。这个礼物是一个又大又重的盒子。凯特十分高兴。她喜欢吃鸡蛋。她想“我可以饲养这些小鸡获得鸡蛋”。

　　她将这个盒子放在自行车的后座上，然后带着这些小鸡回家。当她进入花园时，这个盒子掉到了地上，摔碎了。小鸡全都跑了出来，跑得到处都是。凯特花了数个小时找到了这些小鸡。

　　数天之后，她的叔叔来看她。他问：“小鸡们安全到达了吗?”

　　凯特说：“是的，但是这个盒子掉到地上，摔开了。小鸡们跑的到处都是。我几乎用来整个上午寻找它们。”

　　叔叔问“你把小鸡们都找到了吗?”

　　凯特说“我希望都找到了，但是，我仅找到了其中的11只。”

　　真有趣，你找到的比我送你的还多3只小鸡。
