The big news one morning was Neene’s missing hen. Neene pointed out the semi-grown chicks perched on the edge of a bantaba and said, "Their mother is lost." Neene thinks she was stolen and I think, but do not say, that at least it was considerate of the thief to take the hen whose children are semi-grown and not the one whose children are still fuzzy yellow puffs. But before lunch Neene finds the mother hen, sitting in the open field where the goats graze.
A rather anticlimactic ending.
