Sally had never seen snow before.
“Eww, it is cold and wet!”
But Aunt Deborah said, “Sally, we need to let the chickens out of the coop.”

“Oh, are you sure? The house is so warm and dry. Maybe we should head back.”
But Aunt Deborah said, “No Sally, let’s get our chores done first.”

When the coop door was opened, no chickens came out. Aunt Deborah checked and they were all safe and dry with plenty of food and water. “Hmmmm,” Sally said, “smart chickens.”

Great, let’s hurry back home now.
Yes Sally, it is time to go home.

“But wait,” Sally said. “What was that?”

Come on Sally, we’re going home.
But Sally said, “I think I smell something. I must investigate!”

Sally can’t help it. It may be cold and wet, but the hound is on the scent.
