Once there was a boy named Danny.

One day Danny's mother had a birthday.

Danny said to himself,"What shall I give my mother for her birthday?"

So Danny started out to see what he could find.He walked along,and he met a Hen.

"Good morning,Mrs.Hen!"said Danny.

"Can you give me something for my mother's birthday?"

"Cluck,cluck,"said the Hen,"I give you a nice fresh egg for your mother's birthday."

"Thank you,"said Danny,"but she has an egg."

"Let's see what we can find then,"said the Hen.

So Danny and the Hen skipped along until they met a Goose.

"Good morning,Mrs.Goose."said Danny.

"Can you give me something for my mother's birthday?"

"Honk,honk,"said the Goose,"I can give you some nice feathers to make a fine pillow for your mother's birthday."

"Thank you,"said Danny,"but she has a pillow."

"Let's see what we can find then!"said the Goose.

So Danny and the Hen and the Goose all hopped along until they met a Goat.

"Good morning,Mrs.Goat."said Danny.

"Can you give me something for my mother's birthday?"

"Maa,Maa,"said the Goat,"I can give you milk for making cheese."

"Thank you,"said Danny,"but she has some cheese."

"Let's see what we can find then!"Said the Goat.
