Wordville Print 2nd Grade Reading

One day, a farmer and his son Noah take some live chickens to a market.

After being at the market for a while, the farmer gives Noah a crate full of chickens and says, "Take these chickens back to the truck. I will meet you there in 30 minutes."

On his way to the parking lot, Noah trips and drops the crate. The crate breaks open and all the chickens run off!

Noah chases the chickens. He scoops up all the birds he can catch and returns them to the crate.

"I hope I found them all," thinks Noah. "My father will be pretty mad if chickens are missing."

His father is waiting by the truck. In a quiet voice, Noah says, "Dad, the chickens got loose, but I was able to find all ten of them."

Noah's father smiles and says, "Nice work, son. There were only six chickens in the crate I gave you!"
