“BRRRRING,” rang the noisy alarm clock. Ellie
jumped out of bed. She dressed quickly.
She brushed her teeth. Then she ran down the
stairs.
“Slow down,” said Ellie’s mom. “I made yummy
eggs for breakfast”.
“But it’s field trip day,” said Ellie. “We are going
to a farm”.
“Eggs come from chickens. I bet they will have
chickens at the farm,” smiled Ellie’s mom.
“I can’t wait!” exclaimed Ellie.
At school, Ellie’s classmates boarded the bus.
Mrs. Gibbs, the teacher, said “We are going to
have a great day at the farm”!
Ellie was the first one off the bus. Farmer Henry
walked up to greet her. “Welcome to the
farm,” he said. Ellie couldn’t believe her eyes.
There were so many animals. She counted 2
brown horses, 6 large cows, 10 furry rabbits and
15 feathered chickens. Her mom was right!
Farmer Henry taught Ellie’s class how a farm
works. He showed the students how to milk a
cow. He even let Ellie’s classmate, Jamal, collect
the eggs from the chickens.
When Ellie got home, her mom asked, “How was
the farm?” Ellie smiled. “It was the best
field trip ever!” she said.
